Denise Grady, a New York Times reporter, accompanied Jeff, Brandi (our wonderful Global Health OBGYN fellow) and Dr. Masenga (OBGYN physician at KCMC and expert fistula surgeon) to Dodoma in central Tanzania. They held an obstetric fistula surgery training camp, sponsored by AMREF and helped with funds from the Blue Jean Ball (http://bluejeanball.mc.duke.edu/index.html). Denise Grady's article describes the problem facing girls/women with fistula quite well.
