Moment of Truth

We all sit in the conference room following surgery, another delicious lunch and lectures. As the discussion turns to the need for pediatric urology in Senegal, our host, Professor Gueye, asks who among the young doctors present wants to specialize in pediatrics. Although this part of the discussion is in French, we all understand what is being asked and what it means for our mission in senegal. Immediately, two hands go up. Then another. Then two more! This could be the beginning of something monumental.

Later that night we lighten things up by practicing clapping to the beat of the Bee Gees 'Stayin Alive' for Heidi's lecture (still trying to figure that one out). I hope lives never depend on the sense of rhythm of some of our less musical team members (mainly mine).
