We
heard from the SMI team today! They haven't had power in four days, due to bad
storms in the area. There are a lot of great things happening, and they are
looking forward to sharing more details when they get back from Uganda.
The
team finished well repairs last week, and has been spending much of their
remaining time networking and building relationships.
They discovered that the
health education officer for the Ibanda District happens to live right across the street
from the SMI land purchased in the spring, and we were able to meet with him to discuss health issues
including malnutrition and drug resistant strains of malaria. (What are the odds
– Kristen just completed her capstone project on drug resistant strains of
malaria). When she did her research, they didn't have any data on this happening
in sub-Saharan Africa. It is our hope that meetings like this one will create
opportunities for further work in the future.
Thank you for all the encouraging comments! Follow us on twitter!
