Live from Goma

postedby ericnguyen on August30th,2007 tagged goma, personal

Quick post: I arrived last night, safe, sound, and with all of my gear intact. I’ve hit the ground running. Today, I met with the Congolese board of the Goma Student Fund and installed a preliminary version of OpenMRS for the AIDS pediatrics ward.

The place I’m staying at is gorgeous; truly a sanctuary in the midst of this very poor area.

More, soon. There are already countless interesting things to report…
