It has been 8 months since our last blog. A few of us were returning to the US, and so we had a lot of projects to complete, teaching to do, research to wrap up, and friends to say goodbye to.
Although Jeff and I are back in America, we plan to continue projects initiated 2 years ago through our colleagues who are still in Moshi, including Ruchi, the Global Health Fellow for the year. Jeff will return to East Africa multiple times this year to continue projects in person.
We also plan to write more. And now that we have access to high speed internet with some computer virus protection, we will finally post some pictures. We will also continue to write about the many challenges, surprises and rewards experienced by our team in Tanzania. We continue to need the support of everyone who has helped us before, through the Blue Jean Ball, and I hope that some of our stories and pictures will be able to show you why.
Below is the introductory part of the video for the Blue Jean Ball fundraiser held February 2010.
