Em & Aud's Excellent Adventure

Two of my classmates from Duke have just arrived in my old stomping grounds of Moshi, Tanzania. They took my place in the pediatric clinics, living on the compound, and exploring the greater Kilimanjaro area. Since I was the first student to go from our primary care program, I had a lot of kinks to work out and spent much time "trail blazing" to figure out how to survive in TZ and make the academic portion of our program a success. Their blog is www.emandaudintz.blogspot.com and you can follow their journey there. This was their post to say asante to all of my help in preparing them for this adventure... Hope ya'll have a great time! Safari njema!

Two brave PNP students, Becky and Kelly, embarked on this same experience previously on their own. These girls established relationships and set precedents for future nurse practitioner students to gain global health experiences at KCMC. A wise professor once said, “trailblazers experience the most bumps in the road!” Well, Becky and Kelly sure had their share of potholes to deal with, but handled them with poise thus paving the way for our time here in TZ. To you we are extremely grateful! Your advice, resources, packing lists, cell phones, and long Q & A sessions have helped us immensely. You are amazing… we will be saluting you from the top of Kili!

Becky the Superstar!
