Day 82

The first in a long list of lasts.

The final meeting with the traditional birth attendants was this morning, and you guessed it, we didn't start on time.

We were suppose to start at 10am, but yet again we didn't start until 11:00. All initial chaos aside, we had another productive and successful meeting with 39 traditional birth attendants. We were hoping at least one of the women had attended a birth since our last meeting five weeks ago but no one had. We're in the process of handing the program over to Mama Gertrude who works with the palliative care team at the hospital. It's crazy to think my journey in Tanzania started 12 weeks ago and this was my final meeting with the traditional birth attendants. Where has the summer gone?

XOXO,

Amanda
