Note from Ray
As George mentioned, we have been challenged at the Catholic retreat center where we are staying to get good internet access. But now that we are connected, I thought I'd give a quick update on our activities of the past few days.
We wrapped up the Safe Passages training at Our Lady of Apostles (OLA) Hospital in Jos on Saturday around mid afternoon. The training and interaction with the participants was incredible. George and Bob were able to reconnect with a number of people and we all made many new friends. It was a pleasure working with everyone at OLA. The thirst for medical and IT knowledge is tremendous, and the staff at OLA are looking forward to working with us to connect more often using video conferencing.
We traveled on Sunday to Abuja to a Catholic retreat center on the edge of the city. George has been conducting the Faithful House training with two facilitators from Uganda this week. I assisted the Safe Passages Coordinator with some IT support and have visited some nearby villages. On Tuesday morning, Bob returned home to New York. George and I return on Thursday.
Our trip to Nigeria has been very worthwhile and successful. I look forward to getting back to see how we can advance the education of Nigerian healthcare providers through the application of information technology. During this trip, we successfully demonstrated the potential and quality of training through IT.

Ray,
Glad things were successful and rewarding. Some of the greatest things in life we can give, come with challenges. Your faith and perseverance has made this trip rewarding not only to you but those in Nigeria. You should be proud of yourself, as I am proud of you. Be safe! Until soon....Jana
