My First Week in Zambia









This has been an amazing week! I am enjoying my time on the medical projects and I have had the chance to take vital signs and weigh babies in the clinic, as well as help out with HIV testing and counseling. My favorite project has been home based care where the medical volunteers make weekly visits with patients to provide basic medical and wound care. On Thursday Erica, Laura, Dr. M, Brave and I walked miles to visit patients in Natebe. The landscape was beautiful and the patients were very appreciative of our visits and care. We just got back from a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambise River where we saw elephants, hippos, gazelles and crocodiles from afar.
