I haven't had a chance to update my blog because I've spent the last 4 days in Kwimba, several hours outside of the city of Mwanza. We stayed in hotels that weren't exactly 5 star. The only other thing that I need to say is that they cost about 4 bucks a night. The good part was that they were considered safe and a had a bed with a mosquito net.
We had a chance to visit many rural clinics and hospitals on very bumpy roads (as well as muddy roads, check out our bogged down vehicle in my pics) in Kwimba. As most of you know I'm no stronger to rural areas but these were much different. Most of these people don't have cars, many have bikes or they walk, they live in traditional hut type housing, they wander around with their cattle during the day (while their cattle feed) or tend their small corn or rice plots. Most of the contact that I've had with them at the clinics has been very positive and as you can tell by my pictures, most have no problem having their picture taken. I think everybody in our group has enjoyed the children, who love to have their pictures taken and then seeing them on the camera. Start taking pictures of a couple of kids and you're guaranteed to attract 50 more.
