Today we were talking with our team leaders. They nonchalantly made a comment about there being two helicopters in Madagascar--one belonging to the president & one belonging to Helimission. That's when I burst out laughing! I find it hard to believe that I live in a country where there are only two helicopters.
There are also only 2 CAT-scan machines in Mada but only one is accessible to the public. As you can imagine, the line to get a scan is exceptionally long & the cost expensive. There are also few reliable blood tests here. Rumor has it, almost every test you take will tell you that you have malaria or typhoid when perhaps neither one is the case.
That's when it hits you that you really & truly live in a third world country.

That is truly living in a third world country indeed! Hope all is well and that you are enjoying your first holiday season in Madagascar.
Things continue to go smoothly at the RC, looking forward to our holiday party Dec 19.
Peace,
