I had some artist apply henna to my hands yesterday, and it turned out beautifully (after about four hours of painting, drying, and peeling). Traditionally henna is done for weddings but I've been wanting to try it for a while. Oh, and I have IRB approval pending another piece of signed paper I also got yesterday. I swear, it's taking me longer to get approval for this project than actually doing it is going to.
Today Vania, Julien, and I accompanied the Prenana staff to Dota Ejur (the spelling is phonetic) village for individualized counseling session, history taking, blood draws, vaginal swabs, and urine samples to test for kidney problems, infectious disease, and encourage agency in their own health, and the health of their babies. They also give out antenatal supplements. This time the camp was help in an elementary school (all the kids were there, in class).
These are some of the braver ones, who came to say hello :-)

The set up for all the lab work (I actually did some blood typing today).
Us three in front of the school.
At the end we were invited for lunch by the teachers. It was really good, dol with rice and a crispy piece of bread.
