Hello Everyone!
My first week here in Moshi, Tanzania, is almost over;
I can't believe it! The last few days have been
amazing. I have been working in St. Joseph's Health
Center where I have been helping the nurses examine
infants in the maternal clinic and giving medicine to
the babies as well. We do rounds with the nurses
every morning, changing bed sheets and speaking to the
patients.
My Kiswahili is progressing slowly
(polepole). Tomorrow we are going on a safari to the
Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara for two nights and
next week I will be going with one of the doctors to
Rombo for two nights. I will be able to work in the
labor and delivery unit in a hospital there which I am
really looking forward to. (They allow us to give
injections and do pretty much anything that a wazungoo
daktari "white doctor" would do.)
Everything about
this place and its people is amazing. I have made so
many friends amongst the locals already. Anyway, I am
almost finished with my 30 minute time block at the
internet cafe so I have to get going and catch a dala
dala back to the village. I will email you all
sometime next week. Until then Qwaheri (goodbye)!
