Karen's TZ Safari: March 2007
http://karentzsafari.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2007. New Site Visits, New Adventures. The new round of site visits has come and gone. Jamie and I stayed behind in Mwanza to attempt to collect more data from different dispensaries. This time though, Jamie had a map at her disposal and managed to strategically choose dispensaries to visit. Planning ahead is amazing. What it took a team 8-10 in almost 2 weeks we were able to do with a team of 3 in less than 1 week. All of a sudden, I hear: “Karen! One Week's Worth of Stories. His rea...

Karen's TZ Safari: Roughing it has a new definition
http://karentzsafari.blogspot.com/2007/03/roughing-it-has-new-definition.html
Tuesday, March 6, 2007. Roughing it has a new definition. Man oh man OH MAN! So, I'm a very nature loving-outdoorsy kind of gal, I really am. But, the last couple of days has been enough outdoors for a good year! We have driven through corn fields that somehow are true roads; we have slept in places where I hope to never sleep again; I have starved due to an ant infestation of my food, and I have traveled tiring distances in a land rover that others travel daily by foot.

Tanzania's greatest adventure: Tomorrows the Big Day
http://dawnintanzania.blogspot.com/2007/02/tomorrows-big-day.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. Tomorrows the Big Day. It is after midnight and everything is finally packed. My computer is working with extra memory and any possible essentials that I could think of is added to my luggage. Who would have thought that duct tape, sewing kits, buttons, any possible over the counter drug that CVS carries was purchased and additional prescriptions were filled by the medical profession.

Karen's TZ Safari
http://karentzsafari.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-know-i-have-been-quite-behind-in.html
Saturday, March 17, 2007. I know I have been quite behind in keeping this blog up to date. Let me attempt to catch you up to the happenings of my TZ life:. When we were right next to the lionesses! Well, they were. I have to admit I was laughing too, but only AFTER the ordeal. Once the safari was done though, it was back to Mwanza for the next set of site visits. Jamie had already gotten started the day before and I needed to catch up with her. Read about that adventure in the next blog! Me and My Girls.

Tanzania's greatest adventure: February 2007
http://dawnintanzania.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. We started working in Mwanza. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Today we started working as a team and rolling up our sleeves and starting on our project. It has been a fun day even though it is long. As we start for breakfast we are investigating everything to see if we eat it. Going to Einstein Bagel store will be much appreciated when I get home. We have all decided that we will loose at least 10 pounds by the time we get back home. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. I plan to keep ...

Karen's TZ Safari: February 2007
http://karentzsafari.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Ever heard the phrase “felt alone in the world in the middle of a crowd” before? If you understand the saying, you will understand exactly how I felt today. As we re-packed for our Mwanza flight, I listened to my Swahili lessons on my iPod and practiced as much as I possibly could. I read my language books, and tried to memorize as many phrases as my little brain could hold. I figure, I still have some more time before I need to really know this! Everything we wanted to expres...

Tanzania's greatest adventure: Sunday, Day of rest....
http://dawnintanzania.blogspot.com/2007/03/sunday-day-of-rest.html
Sunday, March 4, 2007. Sunday, Day of rest. I am sorry I have been out of pocket shortly, I was a little under the weather, but I am back on the road to recovery. I woke up with a fever Saturday morning and knew something was wrong. I stayed at home base for the day and decided not to go into the field until we knew what was going on. Dr Geiseker and the team were wonderful. They all monitored my temperature and kept me company. I learned a lot from the experience. In the birthing room at the Missungwi h...

Karen's TZ Safari: Another day another adventure
http://karentzsafari.blogspot.com/2007/03/another-day-another-adventure.html
Sunday, March 4, 2007. Another day another adventure. Well, it has been a few days since I last posted something. I apologize to those who actually log on to see what new adventures we have in store for you. As we continue to go out on the field, I am more and more convinced that the work being done in Tanzania is amazing. There is a small group of people genuinely devoted to improving the health situation in TZ. The data collection process is a strenuous. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
