Photos Galore!

I'll write more about my work soon, but here's a pictoral introduction:

First, I moved into my long-term house with one housemate (who's rarely in town). Very comfy place - and there's a spare mattress waiting for you.

2) For work I sometimes go "up-country" and then we inevitably shop at roadside stands where everything is cheaper and fresh. Now it's mango season.
 Here is me being hot, sweaty, dusty, and tracking data with our team. One of my projects is a pilot study of a new technology at remote rural health centers, so we visited those centers to collect data and provide support.

 3) Another project is creation of a new laboratory for the special HIV tests required for most infants. Thursday was very exciting because the equipment arrived. The hired manual labor immediately went on strike for higher payments, but between some persuasive speeches and a little praying, we eventually got the machines off the truck and into the lab.
