Let me paint this picture for you...Amy and I are house sitting for one of the FGH workers for the next 2 weeks. She has internet. Last night, as I sat in bed reading, I heard a peculiar noise coming from the room with internet. Amy was belting out "circle of life," from Lion King. Then I hear her screaming, "Can you hear me? I can see you! Can you see me? Flip me the bird if you can hear me. Do I look like a crypt, wearing this blue bandanna?" Yep, she got her webcam to work on skype and was chatting with her dad and sister. Next thing I know, she has moved the camera back and has cleared a space to make room to demonstrate her African dance moves for her family. She asked me to join in...which resulted in me nearly getting kneed in the face.
Work update: We are done with Portuguese class and starting our projects. Had a long day of meetings on Friday concerning our protocols, worked for a bit this weekend, and are continuing to get things straightened out with the ethics committee and whatnot this week. At a meeting this morning, I found out that Gonhane, the secondary clinic near Inhassunge (which just opened three weeks ago), has 120 new positives...about 90% of which involve people with CD4 counts less than 50. After being diagnosed, approximately 22% of these people didn't return to the clinic to receive their medication.
