my first encounter with tropical diseases was less than exciting.
headaches, stomachaches, backaches... you name it, malaria's got it.
but after two weeks straight of ODing on antibiotics, i finally feel myself again!

despite both rob and i coming down with the dreaded disease (really, it's not that big of a deal... i can't imagine the mess getting malaria in canada would generate, but here virtually every pharmacy sells anti-malaria meds) we've been really busy.

and it hasn't helped that we've just realized how quickly time has flown by... two months next week!

right now, we're working on putting something together for AIDs Awareness Day, this Friday December 1st. Kivulini has invited us and some of the Yoghurt Mamas to go with them to meet other AIDs awareness organizations and speak a bit about our project. we're both excited to meet more people involved in the field, and get a chance to talk more about what we're doing here!

rob did such a good job on updates with the last post that this is all i've got for now... but more to come from me soon, i promise!

until then, take care and i'll try my best not to acquire any more tropical diseases.
