Today we delivered our first day of the HBB and HCT program. I am a member of the HBB program. There was very little space to work with and about 10 health care professionals participatied in the program today. Half of us, including myself, got to observe the operation of the health care clinic. I got to spend time observing maternal health care, and I also spent some time in the labratory testing area. It was very interesting to see. Both of the programs ran very smoothly today. Everyone was very eager to learn and so happy to have us there.

 The whole community has been extremely welcoming to us. Yesterday we were even greeted by the District Commissioner of Bunda, who welcomed us with open arms. Everybody that I have met so far has been lovely and has made me feel right at home.

 We are preparing to do another training day tomorrow. I am very eager to participate in the training tomorrow, and to continue learning and observing the health care system here in Bunda.
