Mango pool and brief update.

We're taking bets on how much mango we eat from now until the end of
June. There's a separate tally for small and big mangoes. Today we
have already eaten 3 big mangoes. Closest guess wins an unsatisfying
North American mango, next time I can get you one. I tried to think of
ways to turn this into a fundraiser for GAF, but it didn't seem
appropriate...

Just so you thought we were bored, here's a brief list of the projects
Katie and I are doing, all of which are at wildly different stages of
development.
1. Health education in amputee camps
2. Business plan for the palm oil farm that is meant to eventually
fund the operating costs of the clinic.
3. Prototype the OpenMRS system.
4. Enter and analyze the survey data.
5. Helping a peer educator program get started in the nearest secondary school.
6. Designing handouts and booklets that go with the health education.
7. Teaching some basic computer skills to the clinic staff.
8. Eventually, conduct a second round of the survey
9. Possibly health education in schools
10. When Bailor returns, some shadowing and clinical work.

Comment freely – it's nice to see who is reading!

  1. I'm going to research your accounts of mango-eating and come up with the best guess ever. Later. In the meantime, I posit that your mangoes, or Katie's supposedly better Asian mangoes, can't be better than California apricots.

  2. Ok I don't know what I did but your blog just set off Sajid's CSRF add-on. Anyway, I am guessing that from when you posted this to the end of June you & Katie combined (is that how you're counting?) will eat 68 big mangoes and 53 small ones.

  3. Update: The prize to this contest is a 500Le coin from Sierra Leone, which is the cost of a large mango in Kono. The coin is pretty nifty and is made up of two metals (and colors), so get excited. The poll is open!

  4. Buzz posts her first comment - turns out Safari wasn't supporting the comments field, but Firefox does...

  6. Tell Katie your grandmother thinks her accounts are marvellous. I look forward to your weekend diary and more soccer game accounts. xx B

  7. We are thoroughly enjoying your comments, especially the conversations with your collegues and new friends. As a young Canadian, you are representing your country very well in an area where your new friends probably have never met a Canadian before, and for them, you are Canada. Congratulations, and keep in touch. We look forward to your next comments.
    John and Patsy in Vancouver.
