1996 Polio campaign
This was the NID (National Immunization Day) for Polio eradication. I was a site supervisor under the Misuku Health Center.

Health Surveillance Assistants (HSA)
(Community Health Workers)

Billy Luhanga I caught Billy by surprise with this picture, but its the best picture I have of him. Here, he's collecting vaccines for the under-5 clinic.
Charles Musyani and Martha Mwanza Charles and I shared an office (actually a store room that doubled as an office), and he introduced me to Tanzanian beer. He is Chitipa's cold-chain technician for immunizations. Martha is a hard working HSA who always impressed me.
Vincent Fweta Forget Zen, Fweta and the art of motorcycle maintenance. He was the resident speed demon (and only crashed sometimes). Here, he was showing me the intake pipes for the Chisenga gravity flow water system. Fweta is a very good community motivator.
Promise and John Chabinga A husband and wife HSA duo. John was one of my best friends in Chitipa. He is also a hospital footballer on an excellent team. John and Promise worked in adjacent villages close to the hospital.
Mrs. Sikwesi, Mrs. Chabinga, Mrs. Mbewa and Mr. Adams Mrs. Sikwesi, Mrs. Chabinga, Mrs. Mbewa and I had a short (4 km) walk back to town after the reception for my parents in Mwenifuvya.
A group of friends This was my final goodbye at the hospital.

Mr. Mkisi in Kaseye A great picture of Mr. Mkisi, one of the hospital drivers. At the time this was taken, the ambulance was new!
Mr. Chisiza This is Mr. Chisiza, another of the hospital drivers. He was assigned to drive the truck that I used most frequently.
