So here I am, the last work week of my fellowship is upon me. It seems as though the time has flown by, but then again my first day in country feels like it was such a long time ago.
Yesterday I spent the whole day working on the first draft of my final report. I haven't sat down to write for that many hours since working on my thesis at Carleton! It was a long day... but the first draft is done, so now I have a good starting point for finessing the thing :)
Last night I decided to try to see more of Lilongwe and ate dinner in the "city center" neighborhood. By 7pm everything except the restaurant was closed - Lilongwe is really a sleepy town. All the office buildings are in the city itself and homes are on the outskirts, so going to the restaurant at 7:30pm I felt like I was in a cab at 3am. One of the women in the office offered to take me around town tomorrow during lunch, so hopefully I'll see more life in the city then.
Today I'll debrief the staff here (using the PowerPoint I already gave in Karonga - score for recycling!) and possibly the Ministry of Health's Reproductive Health Unit - that may be tomorrow, though. They don't have a whole lot of time booked for me, so I'm not too stressed about it - should just be introductions, key findings, and Q&A - easy enough, right?
My pictures from Karonga can be seen here (even if you aren't on facebook): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2028055&l=63225&id=19100336
