To be honest, there's not too much new here. We finished up our health facility assessments this week, and found that not many kids were going into dispensaries and health centers, which those facilities claimed was because there weren't sick kids, but after checking in with local drug shops we found they were treating many kids, so people were just skipping the doctor step and going straight to the pharmacy. Many of the people in the office will be travelling to the village of Mang'ola this week. I've elected to stay in town because some doctors from out of town are coming in to perform an eye clinic and surgeries, which I am hoping to at least observe, if not participate in. The next big plans are travels to Tarangire NP and Lake Manyara NP next weekend, and travels into the rainforest two weeks after that. My mom wants some photos of people, so a few more photos up above, this is Rose and Halima looking at some baby clothes we bought as a gift, while at market.

Hi Amy
The photos are great! I'm still really hoping to meet up with you later and see some of the national parks. My brother and his wife are separating, so there's a good chance I might move in with him, since I haven't found a new roommate for the apartment yet (you're hard to replace!) I'll keep you posted. Hope you enjoyed your travels this weekend! ~ann
