By this time Saturday I'll be boarding a plane for the first of my three flights. I've presented my work to the MSH team here in Lilongwe, submitted a first draft of my report to them, and will be giving a presentation to the Reproductive Health Unit of the Ministry of Health sometime today (they haven't given us an exact time yet...), so there isn't much more to be done at this point!
Yesterday the power was out for over half the work day, which made things move a little slowly (oh- there went the power just now again!), but Maureen (the other GNU fellow) was kind enough to take me around the city a bit over a long lunch to eat up some of the down time. The city is so spread out! I bought some crafts and was so glad to have here there with me - in the eyes of the people selling, I have huge dollar signs over my head and they were literally chasing us to the car trying to get us to buy their stuff. I'm a bad bargainer to begin with, so it was extra helpful to have Maureen there to give me a sense of what things should really cost.
Turns out I won’t meet with RHU until tomorrow morning – which means I’m free to spend the rest of the day really wrapping up! Tomorrow is a half day at the office (just the morning) and then I’ll pack up and relax!
