Another day

Well I had a little trip to Aga Khan Hospital yesterday. I had been feeling like crap for a week and decided it was time to see a doctor. Anyways the hospital was much nicer than the one I visited the first week I was here. It was pretty much like being in Canada except the minute you step in the door they take your credit card from you... haha!
Anyways I am alright... i have a bit of a stumach infection but Im on antibiotics and its feeling better already.
Anyways today was my day off.... which I spent doing research and prep for tomorrow and the next day... so really it wasnt a day off at all which sucks cause it was the only one I am scheduled to have for the last 2 weeks straight... ugh. Aside from that I had kind of an up and down day of feeling good and bad. Was sightly home sick.... for random things like normal summer things... like the sound of a lawn mower, birds, or just quiet like back in rossland... the sounds here are so different its odd how, as much as I am used to it now its still not what I grew up with.

Anyways tomorrow I am doing gender training for the boys club. I think I have put together a good schdule.. I am doing a review of basic human rights, then womens rights and then will continue into what masculinity is and how it comes about and differences in cultures. Then I am going to go on to talk about how the ideas of masculinity put men in unsafe situations and risk taking situations regarding general day to day things as well as sex related risk taking. I am then going to go on to talk about drugs and how drugs especially heroin (injecting) drastically increases the risk of HIV.... anyways I even dropped by a local rehab center to ask what services are provided in mombasa... which was depressing in itself. So thats the first half of the training and then I will cover some other topics the next day.... I think I spent about triple the amount of prep time I needed but as usual I like to be prepared.

Ok well I am going to go drink my wonder water.... they love things that disolve down here... I think people have a phobia of pills... so all the meds have to be disolved into my water and it tastes like crap but at least I feel better.. haha

Ok miss u all
