My sitemate Annie and I began to work together in August, when we visited a nearby town to give a talk about HIV. The town was extremely small--only 35 houses total--but were very welcoming. About 15 people attended the talk, but about 50 showed up at a later workshop, which is awesome. Here is me on the walk from the town to the road where we got the bus.
Later, Annie was wrapping up a health orientation class at the Estancia. At the closing celebration, the students performed a play about the stigma surrounding people who have HIV and the misconceptions about HIV transmission. It was really cute and definitely showed a lot about what the students had learned in the course. Here is the doctor examining the patient who will later be diagnosed with AIDS. The makeshift hat is because the patient has had a fever and is cold.

It's not a project, but in September the students and teachers had a birthday celebration for me, complete with a Barney pinata!
