Guns and Stars
I mentioned in a previous post that there were two parties to celebrate the beginning of the medical camp. There were problems with transportation after the second party. Originally, most of the volunteers had ridden together on the hospital’s bus; however, sometime during the party the bus returned to the hospital. So when the volunteers were ready to call it a night we had no ride. We waited for about 45 minutes and still no bus. Eventually the consul general and a few of the other VIPs were leaving, so we all ended up carpooling.
Back from India
Visiting India was a great experience. Not only did I get to contribute to a great project, but I met some great people and saw some great sights. I had planned to make multiple blog updates throughout my stay, but I did not have Internet access. So I will try to condense everything to a single entry. I’ll just start from the beginning.
India
For the past two years I have spent IAP in Africa. This time around I'll be hanging out in India. I joined a team of students that is traveling to Bhuj to study a health clinic and determine what we can do to improve operations at the clinic and also to take lessons learned from the clinic and apply them to other clinics in the country. This will be a completely different experience from Africa and I am totally looking forward to it.
