She's doing fine, feeling like she's getting a cold though, which can mean the onset of Malaria so they are treating it as such. She says that it's very hot and dusty but the food is great. She hasn't been sleeping very well which doesn't surprise me since they are all sleeping on the ground in tents...takes awhile to get used to that.
The first day there they treated 60 villagers for various ailments then ramped up to 80 over the next couple of days. They are working from 8:30 - 5:00 each day and not expecting to have any time off during their two week stint except for this Sunday. They may travel to Burkina Faso (the country south of Mali) to go to church on their day off.
Janet is enjoying working with the people on her team as well as the Malians. I expect she's going to experience the same culture shock that I did when she comes home. It's hard work over there but everyone appreciates the simplest things that you do for them. It's so easy to make a difference and that feels good.
