This week may have been one of our busiest and most productive. We began the week by organising a formal introduction to all the students. It was apparent that some students weren’t entirely sure what we were doing at the COTC and what our projects entailed so we briefly introduced ourselves at the start of their classes. We also held 2 evening sessions for interested students for an ‘introduction to Medicine Africa’ and a general Q and A of how the students could be involved with the work we’re out here to do. The turnout was more than we could have possibly anticipated; it was great to see so many eager students. On the back of this one of the students at the COTC organised for us a meeting with the student government. This was another great opportunity for us to explain our goals and the students offered to help us achieve them wherever they could.
After a long hard week we organised a nice last weekend for Iain who was to leave us on the Monday. Saturday was spent at Mnazi Bay Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park. Here we lounged on the soft white beach, went for a swim and did some snorkelling (not much to see). Sunday was Iain’s final full day. We went to the beach with some of students and had a nice final evening meal at Msemo for a yummy BBQ.
