Mom has made it to her final destination. She says it is beautiful. The weather has been good as well. She is in a measles vaccination clinic (I think). I was able to talk to her to get some of the details. When we spoke she had just gotten out of a meeting at 10:30 PM her time. She had to be back at the clinic at 5 AM the next day and work until 9 PM or so. Long days.
I think I understood correctly that the places they are include schools, churches, etc. People from all over come to be vaccinated. She was supposed to initially help with construction, but had to instead help out with the crowds and crowd control. They are trying to vaccinate 2000 people a day. They will be there for 8 days and then pack up and off to the next town.
She said she cannot call out and has no internet service. She has several emails in queue and hopes to get to an internet cafe at some point to send them out. She also added in addition to no cell or internet, she has no toilet seat. Just threw that in since it was such an odd statement out of the blue in our quick phone call.
I hope to hear more from her in the next week or so and will post when I can.

What a fabulous experience Carolyn and a much needed vaccination in that part of the world.
