Long Time

Sorry that it has been so long since I last wrote. I have been really busy working, which is always good and have neglected to update my blog. As most of you know I spent a good two weeks down in the southern region working in a village and hanging out. I am happy to say that my main project has been meet with sucess so far. I helped install a new accounting system in the health post in a small village. Befor, there was money missing every week and it was becoming a real problem. Now There hasn't been any money or product taken in the last month. It was really good for me to have a succesful project that people got excited for. I can't take all of the credit however. Kirsten did all of the translating and teaching since I am not able to speak the Mandinka language. She also had a similar accounting system, but it was done more in her head then on paper, which causes conffusion on the behalf of the health hut workers. So I just tweeked it a little to show all of the individual steps.

In about three weeks I will be coming home and visiting for a few weeks. I am very excited and can't wait to se some familiar faces. I will be coming home mid december and I wont have a cell phone. SO if anyone wants to get in contact with me call my parents phone number or send me an wmail with your phone number. Any who, See you all real soon
