Our days start early. We were out by 7 AM to visit clinics and meet with health officials. We are planning to bring a health care team to the Mombo area of Tanzania. We are located in Lushoto. Our lodge is on a lush mountain side. This whole area is mountainous. Juma is here with me to do the assessment.
