Here's a photo of the people I work with, we are on a trip to Ngorongoro Crater.

This past week I completed my first project in Tanzania. I developed training materials and helped coordinate training for women who work in drug shops. As I've mentioned before these women are very important people in the health care community and often prescribe important medicines including antibiotics themselves, without any consultation with a physician or pharmacist. These women do not have health care experience, so giving them some insight into proper prescribing and when children are critically ill will hopefully have a big impact. We are planning on using secret shoppers in six months to see if the training was effective and what areas we need to do further training.

The other fun this weekend was a trip to Ngorongoro Crater, which was incredibly beautiful. I didn't see quite as many animals as I did on last weeks trip, but the more beautiful surroundings more than made up for it.

There was also some humor on this trip. We got out of the park and parked at the gate for everyone to stretch their legs and get checked out of the park. There was a baboon walking right past our cars so I walked up as close as our second car, about 15-20 feet away and shot some photos of the baboon. Then the baboon started walking toward me, which made me a bit nervous since I had heard they're quite mean. So I started backing away from it, until I had backed my way into the back seat of our car. The baboon jumped through the window into the front seat of the vehicle, which was quite a shock for me and quite hilarious to everyone else in the group. Soon the baboon jumped back out the window, no harm done, but I was pretty concerned for a bit. Hopefully I can include a photo of him above.
