Over the past few days we have learned of a celebration coming up that will greatly impact our work schedule. From what we have heard, even the airport will be shut down. So I think I will be cutting my trip short by a few days.
As far as work that went on today, we trekked to some compounds that we thought were part of a larger village across the river but it turns out it is a tiny village with its own name. Two months ago they had 15 children under the age of three. They lost three kids to lead poisoning. Now some of the other kids are showing signs of being sick. We got the coordinates of that village and will send the information on to the right people.
It’s been a very long week and I am looking forward to an office day at the compound and maybe a nap.
