So here are some of the people I work with at TASO
 The first picture is Patience who is my day to day boss and the Assistant Counseling Coordinator, and standing next to her his David who is HR.  Next is Robert who is my next level boss (the Counseling Coordinator) talking politics to Charles from the Drama Group.


This is Godfrey a counselor talking to a client.

 This is Harriet. She is a patient advocate and runs the HIV+ Widows Craft Cooperative.

The first picture is Sarah and Nora both counselors and the next is Paul who is a counselor and also runs the Sustainable Livelihood Program.

This is Dr Christian in black who is the Medical Coordinator and Rebecca, another counselor.

Last in Essau, another counselor, conducting an educational session with adolescent boys
And last a very crowded van with 15 of us coming home from an outreach clinic.  Just behind me is Dr Ali the Field Supervisor and a very big- hearted, caring man.

I'm trying to get pictures of everyone I work with and putting them up here makes me realize how many more I have to go.  I believe there are 16 counselors!
One of the things we did this week was to go to an orphanage.  We tested all the children and some of the staff, about 80 people.  Because of transportation issues we had to use one van to take a large number of people so the van made 2 trips.  I was in the fist run and while we were waiting the children performed for us!  I'm going to put up a few pictures which may give you some idea how fun it was to watch.  The kids were all ages from just walking to 19 and they sang many songs which you can't tell from the pictures and performed many different types of dances from very traditional Buganda tribal dances to break dancing.  It was great.
