to Africa!

I'll be going to Africa for two weeks with one of my best friends from medical school, Colleen Kiernan. Colleen and I started in the same medical school class, but since I took a year off for research she is now a year ahead of me in training. She is currently a first year surgery resident at Vanderbilt.

Before medical school, Colleen and a friend organized the construction of a school for special needs children in Tanzania. The website for their foundation can be accessed here.

We will be flying to Nairobi, Kenya through London. The first leg of our trip will be spent in Tanzania, where we will be visiting the school Colleen built. Later we will be going back to Kenya to work in a hospital there. Vanderbilt has an affiliation with this Kenyan hospital and they were kind enough to let me tag along here.

I don't know much of what I will be doing yet, but I will post pictures whenever I get an internet connection!
