Due to unfortunate slow internet problems, I am compelled to yet again relocate this blog. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just a quick update for now. I should have better access to internet in the next week.

Bwafwano is really cool. I started doing work right away on Thursday, typing reports for the nutritionist. Friday I helped with weighing of babies during the breastfeeding mothers clinic, as well as more typing. It also sounds like I will be creating a database for another part of the clinic, starting next week.

Friday afternoon the power went out, so I couldn't type anymore. Instead I went and played soccer with the boys who go to school at the clinic. They were playing barefoot, so I did as well. Bad plan. I got giant (quarter sized) blisters on the balls of my feet, two per foot. They're getting a bit better by now, but walking is still painful. I'm learning about Africa, but I seem to be doing it the hard way.
