rainy weekend

Hello,
We had our first group meetings last week (friday and saturday). I think they were very helpful for everyone involved. It was starting to get complicated piecing everyone's projects together and seeing how we all related to each other. I find myself going over notes constantly so I can keep it all clear in my mind (If I didn't I wiould be lost). Friday we went over everyone's interview guides and discussed them. Saturday the 4th year UNIVEN nursing students joined us. They will help with pilot data collection. OUr interactions with them were positive. As bonus, I managed to get invited on the student trip to Cape Town in September (yay!). Hopefully I'll be able to visit Hillsong Church while I am there.

We went to a family party at the Dean's house saturday night. There was a lot of food and dancing (the older people especially danced alot). Her house in a village about half an hour from UNIVEN.

It rained most of the day Sunday...and we lost electricity for a little bit. I went to shopping iwth Prof Khoza and Solani (the shops do not lose electricity during a power outage). Later in the evening Solani joinedm e and my roommates for our version of a traditional South AFrican meal (Solani will help us out next time). I think we did a good job for our first try.
