Getting into a groove...


I'm starting to settle into a pattern - doing these Puskesmas events (that's Dr. Yohana above, counseling a pregnant woman who's about to get an HIV test) and also group meetings in the evening with gay men and transgenders (harder to photo because at people's homes in small groups). I'm learning a lot from the conversations I'm having...



I'm also doing lots of stuff around the GC office; I'll write more about that soon. One of the big things is helping staff write abstracts and apply for the big HIV/AIDS in the Asia Pacific conference that's happening in Sri Lanka in August. The process is quite complicated and has to be done all in English, so I'm doing a lot of translating and helping people get their abstracts into shape, and also helping them register online and apply for scholarships.

As I'm settling into a pattern here I might start posting every other day more or less instead of every day more or less; we'll see, but in any case don't worry if you don't see a post for a day or two. You can always email me to check in (tboellst@uci.edu).
