To the Villages

Hey Guys,

We are right in the middle of our Safe Motherhood Interventions at the
villages. We are going to the villages to help the nurses bring free
antenatal care to pregnant mothers in the health clinics. Our first day
away from the hospital and there were at least 100 pregnant mothers
wanting to get some free health care. Unfortunately, we did not have
enough time to examine that many mothers. Hopefully, they will return
next week. Things are great though. I was working in the ultra-sound
room and taking blood pressures. The villages were more similar to
Bundibugyo than Mbarara which isn't surprising. However, the landscape
had more grass and less bush to it. Again this comes to no surprise
because cattle raising is popular in the area. Today, I worked with a
group of students to finish up the surveys that we have been working for
greater part of a year. We are hoping to pilot on Thursday but it might
be a stretch due to the language barrier.

Hope all is well,
Peace.
