Since our return to UB

OK, here I go, I will attempt to fill you all in on what has transpired since our return to UB. We arrived safely and stayed briefly with my friend Anuu but it was better to move on. This we have now done several times. Like a modern day Bruce Banner we are constantly on the move it seemed. This finally drove me to distraction, and we fortunately have no found our own place. It is actually quite nice and provided to us by way of a good friend at the Catholic Mission, Father Pierre of the Congo.
In addition our new place is right across the street from Tugsu's parents. This makes it easy for Bandruush to stay with Amina during the day. I feel bad that we can do nothing more exciting than that but it is what it is. Last night we went to an indoor children's pay place and Amina had such a good time she was making friends with the children. Unfortunately, it is more difficult around our place but Amina says she is still having fun.
The reason we are not around is our jobs. Tugsu and I are both working 5 days a week (I am actually right now working 5.5) on our internships. Tugsu is working at the Wildlife Conservation Society, preparing data sets, summarizing results, translating legal documents and preparing to go on a trip to the countryside on July 20th for about 5 days. This will take her to Dornod, a far eastern province that is rolling grassland. She will work with a community attempting to manage their land depsite privitization efforts by forming a cooperative to purchase it and manage it themselves. She is enjoying her work and likes the people she works with.
I am working at the National Center for Health Development in the Health Promotions office, doing whatever crosses their mind. I am translating statistical reports for the statistics department, attempting to assist in the development of a proposal in the management department and doing some interesting work with health promotion but also doing things like develop personal statements, locates conferences for attendance, etc... On the whole I like the people that work here but considering they are the primary research wing of the Ministry of health they have precious few opportunities for funds. They must constantly react to offers from the international community for aid and pretend this fits in perfectly with their own agenda.
Sorry for the lack of pictures but we really have been busy. I will get more intersting and detailed posts in the future. Keep a look out for them. We are all caught up with the basics, FINALLY! If anyone would like to call us our phone number is 976-99178107. I would love to hear from you all. Hope you had a pleasant July 4th. Talk to you later
