Subject: Re: MAP
thank you so much dr. glenn. im on ob call right now
but will call them first thing in the am.
we are leaving for accra on 9/8 from dc (only there
for ~36hrs) but can have them shipped there.
looking forward to speaking with you soon.
your pics and stories from eritrea were wonderful. ive
forwarded them along to our future mission brethren drs. jeff pierce and dan
dewey ‑ LAOS, Feb '06??!?!!!
speaking of which, have you thought more about hopping
over to meet us in lao from the mindanao? and, as i mentioned prior, jeff
pierce (tropical medicine certified/surgery) will be able to be there 2wks
earlier than dan and myself and is very
keen to operate with you in mindanao or lao(jefe ‑ insert yourself here).
how about the grand rounds at our hospital? depending
on your schedule, there are open dates in oct/nov/dec.
hasta pronto,
kevin

It would be more timely for you to call from your end,
and to request
them as my agent to be delivered to (me) =you here in
DC where I will
have a chance to see you when you come through.
Let me know how it is happening, since either one of
these will fax to
you a form to fill out as to where and how the meds
will be used. You
can sign my name and particulars along with the
"Signature Sheet"
appended.

dr. glenn,
loved reading some of those stories! sounds like you
had an amazing
experience ‑ shades of somaliland.
urgent request: do you think you could request a
couple of those MAP
boxes on my behalf? my license still hasnt arrived,
and would hate to
arrive empty‑handed ‑ especially since i
cant offer world‑reknowned
surgical teaching!
anyway, if it can be done without a license then im
happy to do it; but
i thought your contacts there would be better than me
going blind. i can
give you my address in dc where the meds can be sent:
2714 woodley place
NW washington, dc 20008.
hope to speak with you soon and look forward to
hearing stories!

Good to hear about Ghana! I will relay this
information to those who
have been there and those who are going so that they
can compare
notes!
I am just returned form Eritrea. It was quite an
experience, which
will shortly have the complete "show and
tell" ready for your review,
as
well as the students' presentation of their life‑changing
events. I
attach a preliminary summary, as well as the domestic
disaster to
which
I had returned after leaving Derwood in such a
pristine and clean
refurbished perfection.
I will check back with you on the Ghana (W. Africa)
and Asmara Eritrea
(E. Africa and Horn) details and their future
prospects.

Hi. So I'm back from my little trip. Went well and we
accomplished a
lot. We were working in Nima, a predominantly Muslim
slum in the
capital. Alternated meetings with the MOH and all the
regional and sub
directors and the university and a research institute
with time in the
community. Met with the chiefs and an Islamic center
and some
professionals. Talked with a lot of residents and
tested a survey,
gave
a couple of health classes and saw a couple of
patients. We took one
side trip to Lake Volta and the Shai Reserve. So not
bad for such a
short trip. Toured a private university. A friend is
the new president
and he is starting the first PA program in Ghana.
"bout it.
Hope you're well.
