I met up with Eugenio at Milano Centrale station on the evening of Wednesday 6 May 2009, we shared a room in Saronno and left for Malpensa early in the morning. Frankfurt - Dheli, then a night in a hotel in a room with an “open space” bathroom! The taxi driver who took us to the hotel, offered to return the following morning. We organized for a 4.30 pick up (the plane leaves at 6:05 to Jaipur), but there’s no sign and he doesn’t arrive.

We rush to find another taxi to get to the right terminal where we arrived out of breath but just in time. From then on everything went smoothly, we arrived in Jaipur, waiting for us was a driver holding a sign with our name on it and he takes us to the Clarks Amer Hotel, booked for us by Ganesh and Rachna Narain, very nice and welcoming. We get changed and take a nap. Read the rest of this entry »

We left from Fiumicino airport in Rome and arrived in Tirana, Albania. The next morning we met with Leonora (local coordinator of the support program for families), and were given an update on each of the patients, as we walked from the Hotel Baci to the Pristina Hospital, as it was not so far away.
Bardhyl and the rest of the staff welcomed us very warmly and we prepared an agenda for the next two days. There were many issues to be addressed: drug delivery and customs clearance, meeting with the local parents association, planning future actions, meeting with nurses to debate on central venous catheters, meeting with medical staff to discuss the management of possible relapses and the role of bone marrow transplants in leukemia. Then there are the procedures to be done and patients to discuss. Read the rest of this entry »
