Welcome! My name is Katlin Bowman and I am a senior Environmental Science major from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I will be participating in the School for Field Studies' Kenya Public Health Field Practicum from July 5 - August 13 2009. The program invites 20 students from all over the United States and 5 students from Kenya to study and create a public health assessment of the environment and its effects on the health of the Kenyan community. I hope you enjoy following me along on my journey!

Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a pretty long trip but fun and exciting at the same time. You will never forget this experience. Getting to visit and get insight to other cultures and customs is a wonderful thing, one few people get. You've earned it, get all you can out of it.
What kind of testing will you be doing? Is it all predefined or do you get to put your two cents worth in?
Talk to you soon... love dad
Sounds like medical training in Kenya is much like veterinary training in the U.S. - the docs have to have a bit of expertise in everything! I'm thrilled to hear you're having such a rewarding experience! Just don't get any goofy ideas about staying there... Are the bracelets you bought beaded or woven? Couldn't tell from the picture. Have fun. Learn lots of cool stuff.
