Today was day 4 of survey collection; so far we have completed 64 surveys. After meeting with Dr.McKay and figuring out what else needed to be done, she suggested that since Suzie is an engineering student it would be beneficial to her to observe the water systems, drainage and toilets etc so that she could also get something out of this experience. We then discussed the next plan forward after we leave. We at USF have to determine what students from USF will be doing when they come in the following summer months. I definitely think a health fair should be done so that we could educate people in managing many of the chronic conditions such as CVD and diabetes. The health fair can become an element of the 5 year program so that we can at least have something to give back to the community for allowing us to study them in such great depth.At the end of our meeting Suzie and I continued to do surveys in San Martin with the help of Tita and Alicia. I am so grateful to all their help because we would have not been able to accomplish as much as we did.
