1st GHI Meeting

Note to self: apparently, the green tea ice cream that haagen daz makes is sweeter than regular green tea ice cream made by more asian brands.

Couldn't fit in my regular run today. I had to work on a presentation with my DPAS partner for tommorow and I had a Global Health Initiative Meeting at MSAC in the evening. I am really excited to go to rural Kenya next summer of 2010 to be a part of helping with health improvement initiatives in the area. Hopefully, I can put some of my business acumen to use in these projects. I was debriefed and shown pictures of where I would be staying and the people I would be working with. For a part of the trip, we will be spending it on Rhemba Island in Lake Victoria, a fishing village, to help with water sanitation in the area. Rhemba Island is quite isolated from a clean water source as the surrounding waters are quite dirty. It will be a very unique experience as we will not be living in a secluded shelter, but right amongst the rural community. We will be eating local food and be taken care of by a host family.
