Water projects are usually located near a school, church, or, in Yulansoni, adjacent to a dispensary. Yulansoni is about 55 miles from the nearest town (Singida). We traveled to Yulansoni last week to install a pump on a well financed by a ministry from California. While Ed labored at pouring a concrete pad on which the pump would be installed, I was invited to tour the dispensary.
Lois, my host, was delighted to show me examination rooms, the doctor's office, pharmacy, and lab where they are able to test for malaria. This is the room in which injections are administered.
One patient was admitted for treatment of malaria with a quinine drip. Lois was very proud that she was trained to insert an IV and insisted that I accompany her and take photos as she admitted the patient and inserted his IV.

How neat! I love reading about what ya'll are up to. It must be so satisfying when you leave to go home, knowing that you gave them clean, accessible water. So proud to know you two!
