pics

The first two pictures are of a training i organized earlier this month. We trained female community health workers in the promotion of female condoms. IT was great, most of the women came into the room that morning not even knowing female condoms existed. by the end of the day they could all giver perfect demonstrations and facilitate discussions about female condoms.
The promotion of female condoms is a really great activity here because 1. they are free, 2. many times the woman wants her partner to wear a condom but he refuses, this way she can still protect herself 3. with the growing AIDS problem in the region every avenue of retarding the spread needs to be examined.

The other pics are in the OR with the American opthamologists. There's me in my scrubs and then the other pic is the actual cataract after being pulled out of the eye, not too clear, but nevertheless I wanted to post it.

FYI it is so much faster to load pics from my phone than my camera. they are lesser quality but i can upload more. enjoy!
