Asha's World: Successful presentation at NPHCDA
http://ashalakshman.blogspot.com/2011/07/successful-presentation-at-nphcda.html
Blogging from Abuja, Nigeria. Thursday, 7 July 2011. Successful presentation at NPHCDA. Dr Pate, Exec. Director in the center. I am happy to say that our final presentation at NPHCDA was very well received and the agency was happy. They thanked and appreciated us for coming up with their strengths, gap analysis and the recommendations. Ann and Lawrence from CDC were present at the presentation. Over all I would like to highlight that this was a good experience at Abuja and I will remember it for ever.

Big Blue in Abuja: 3 More Days in Nigeria
http://bigblueinabuja.blogspot.com/2011/07/3-more-days-in-nigeria.html
Big Blue in Abuja. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. 3 More Days in Nigeria. I leave Abuja this Friday night. Part of me can't believe the four weeks are nearly over and another part is so ready for a week of vacation! To all who thought the CSC was like a vacation, think again. Most nights I've returned to my room to finish up on some work or to prepare for the next day. Plus, living in this volatile country the last four weeks has raised my blood pressure a bit, I won't lie. View of Aso ("Victorious") Rock.

Big Blue in Abuja: Pictures from Week 3
http://bigblueinabuja.blogspot.com/2011/07/pictures-from-week-3.html
Big Blue in Abuja. Friday, July 1, 2011. Pictures from Week 3. Take notice to the goat in the background. You see goats and chickens all over the place in the more rural areas. And to those wondering, they are eaten, not kept as pets. I've talked a lot about power so here is a photo of a generator. A lot of schools have them, but they don't have the funds to use them. You have to fill it with diesel to run it. July 1, 2011 at 8:06 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My views are my own.
