My new "office" in the field

Training teachers on malaria prevention - we trained 100 teachers from all 22 primary schools north of the river on Saturday. It was a logistical nightmare, but I think they enjoyed it (especially getting the sodas and "allowance"). It's amazing how little people know about malaria, even teachers. Hopefully they will pass on correct information to their students.

One quick question. Are you sitting there surrounded by barrels of DDT?

NO!!!
We use only World Health Organization-approved insecticide that is also approved by the government of countries we work in - here it is Fendona. I believe DDT is banned in most places.
