2 June 2009 - Bamenda
With our final presentations rapidly approaching, Jane and I spent the morning wrapping up loose ends at the office. I met with Dr. Achu to go over nutrition for HIV/AIDS patients. He stressed the most important need was to get patients to adhere to a diet where they receive the recommended nutrients for the general population, then focus on administering more B and C vitamins. He also spoke of a project COPAAP was trying to put together about soya bean production and conversion to good-tasting food.
Around noon, a circuit breaker on our floor of the clinic caught on fire, causing the power to go out. Luckily, it happened while the staff was there or the whole building could have been burned down. We were without power for most of the afternoon.
After work, our housekeeper delivered our garments that we had sewn by a seamstress in town. I got a vest and a messenger bag; Jane got a shirt and purse. They turned out really well! Before dinner, Jane and I made a video on her camera of our flat. It will hopefully be posted somewhere shortly after our return!
Power outages: 45

Hope your presentation/5 hour meeting go well tomorrow! I am sad we won't be chatting at work anymore, hopefully the work will be picking up to keep me occupied.
Don't forget your sunscreen at the beach, whitey!
Bis nachher,
Mo
