rwanda or bust

i leave this afternoon for Rwanda for an HIV Implementers Meeting. am VERY excited - the conference is set up to be a best practice workshop highlighting successes from around the world. it should be a fantastic opportunity to learn and hopefully bring back new ideas to malawi.

all is well here. i am finally well (-ish, probably about 90%), after fighting a nasty cold for two weeks. but work stops for no cold, especially since our office is undergoing a huge transition!

i did manage to get in a fantastic hike a few weeks back; it felt so good to be outside, and the nature reserve that we were in was so peaceful.

i need more days like that. i don't expect Rwanda to be that, in fact, i think that it will be a zoo (more people coming then there are hotel rooms!). but zoos are good too... keeps me on my toes.
