The last 2 days Steph and I went to nearby communities for community outreach. I love doing this! We set up like a little clinic outside and all the mother come with their babies (about 50-200 per town) and we weigh them on a scale that we hang from a tree and then record and graph their weight. The rest is mostly bookkeeping and doing recors of the children and then we give them their vaccinations that they are due for. I havent done any vaccines yet but I will soon. Last night 4 swedish girls and a guy came and they are staying for 2 weeks. Today we went to Mampong to the market. Yesterday afternoon we went to the kente cloth weaving village which was really cool and then to Kumasi market. the market is insane and is the biggest one in western africa. I will tell you more about that later because i have to run xoxo
