November

Some patients at the health center.

My friend Noel, the Medical Assistant at the health center, in his office.  

This room at the health center is currently not being used.  I hope to remedy that by starting a youth health program (ages 10 - 25). 

I'm helping Noel put drugs into dosage bags.

My cat named Mtima (meaning "heart" in Chichewa).

Mtima yawning.

Ntchisi hospital.  My site, Kamsonga, is in the district of Ntchisi.

Kamsonga hill, which my house and the health center are next to. 



Some of the students in the Form 3 Life Skills class that I teach at Kamsonga's secondary school.  This term we discussed topics such as: physical, mental and emotional changes during puberty; moral dilemmas; roles of leaders and citizens in a democratic society; stress and anxiety management; self-esteem; and self awareness.
