Week two started with an outreach to Pyutu primary school. Coordination and communication was lacking so the school and the surrounding community appeared unaware of our visit until we arrived. We primarily performed under five screenings and screenings for malaria. We go through boxes and boxes of rapid malaria tests here on a weekly bases. I was the fascination of the children at Pyutu due to my light skin and red hair. They enjoyed feeling my hair and bombarded me with tons of questions in the local language, Lamba. Thankfully Derrick, the lab tech, was present to interpret for me. We had a great time with them.
