More details are emerging about our assignment in Burkina Faso. Its exciting that we will be starting a brand new clinic. But this next few months will be extremely challenging - its going to be quite a job to start up an HIV clinic. At first we'll be working in the local hospital (we think) until we have a temporary clinic. Our "center of excellence" won't be open for a minumum of 1 year.
Houston has been pretty hot - above 30C so its good practice for Burkina!
In August 2006, I moved to Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso to help scale up HIV / AIDS treatment for children. Now, I'm working in Cape Town & Vancouver, still focused on global health. This is the story of the journey, the adventures and the lessons learned along the way.

So, if you're working to set it up and it won't be open for a year, will you be doing just administrative stuff? Or will you be doing clinical work elsewhere as well?
