A picture says a thousand words

I'm finally at the internet cafe because we are nearly out of food so I offered to go to town. Things are still going really well. May left last week which was sad to say good-bye. I'm so glad she decided to come. Without her, I may have never gotten off the bus and would be home by now. Quite a few new volunteers have come which is great because I am not the newbie anymore. I decided to be lazy and let my pictures do the talking this time....
A child being weighed at an under 5's clinic. Definitely the most inaccurate scales I have ever used. I have given up trying to worry about the scales often not being zeroed, etc. Hopefully we are getting an estimate.
A woman getting her baby ready for vaccines at an under 5's clinic. I'm not sure how my patients at home would have felt about having their babies get vaccinated in the dirt. The under 5's clinics are always an experience.A baby getting vaccinated at the under 5's clinic. We just line them up and poke away.
I am quickly becoming the sex education teacher around here, which is pretty funny. There is a huge need for it. This is me at a under 5's clinic giving a female condom training. Here I am putting my hand into a condom because the women were concerned that the condoms were too small. Planning to do many more of these trainings. I have realized that I am definitely a nurse because I don't even feel uncomfortable about it.
We run into many children on the path. Most of them run out to greet us shouting, "Mzungu", white person. The toddlers are often afraid of us though and the little one in the green shirt in this picture cried if we tried to come too close.
Some fisherboys that I ran into down on the lake. They were happy to pose for a picture.
A fisherman out on the lake. Most of the fisherman do not know how to swim. Unfortunately, I don't think my lifeguarding skills would help much here.
We went to dinner at a local man's house. He used to own a restuarant and is very helpful with volunteers. Here his pregnant wife is preparing our meal outside on an open fire. They cooked for 11 of us the other day. We had chicken, rice, nsimma (cornmeal based), fries, and pumpkin soup.
