Far from where I am, though…

hi eric, what you're doing over there is phenomenal. i agree with marc and amy that you're doing something really truly good and special. you're really MAKING a change instead of just talking about how it should happen. makes me proud to know you.

don't get ebola.

I agree with Amy. I’m proud of what you’re doing. Most of us work the 9-5 and don’t take the time to even look around. You’re not only going there, but you’re bringing the work into the worlds of folks who might not otherwise see or care. Well done.

Eric…thanks for keeping us in the loops. We forgot to check this site and kept waiting for e mail. This is very thorough. The picture with the teachers are great. Good work. Thanks for being concerned with my possible worry in the previous note. I cannot help but feel that you are in danger from not just the war, but also the driving, being exposed to diseases (hospital environment, animals (chimps can give you infections through skin breakage)), etc. Please come back safely. Can’t wait to see you back. Love, Mom

I see you're working with some of the Meraki devices. I've got quite a lot of experience with them now and would gladly help or advise where possible.

What are your issues with them and what is your setup?
