On Thursday I had the wonderful opportunity to share my slides and experiences from last summer’s trip to Tanzania & Uganda with women and men from my mother’s church in Florida, Good Shepard Lutheran Church. Many of them had made “Little Dresses for Africa” from pillowcases which I delivered to children in both countries. As you can see, they have more for me this year. In addition to these, my mother has already sent me a large box from the crafty women of the church. My talk was well received and I seemed to leave them wanting more since everyone is already urging me to come back after my trip this year!

I’m busy trying to get the rest of my trip details finalized. 47 days and counting! More to come soon on our plans, my recent presentation on the water research at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy meeting in Orlando, FL, and a new collaboration between other schools of pharmacy who want to help with my project in Uganda.
