Senegal, an Interlude

So as some of you know, in February I traveled to Senegal for 10 days with a couple dozen other UM graduate students as part of the International Development program.  My health team went to study the implementation of public health programs (such as the President's Malaria Initiative), as they relate to malaria prevention among pregnant women.  When not working, we explored Dakar, took trips to bird sanctuaries, checked out the local music scene, and generally had an amazing, whirlwind time.  Below are some links to pictures and a blogs, for a more a better taste of our trip. Enjoy!

(Although a group blog, I--in my capacity as a member of the 'documentation committee'--wrote quite a few of the posts.  You'll probably be able to pick out mine.)


Here are my pictures from the trip: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2116970&id=1012910&l=73ce2655fd
