May 16m 2011- P.R.

Our trip yesterday consisted of stopping at many places. One of the places we stopped was Green. It was a non governmental organization (NGO). It focused on the agriculture and immigration. They had German students who were also study abroad students. However, they stayed a longer period of time than we are staying. They spoke German, French, English and some Wolof. We then traveled to a health center where we spoke to a midwife. The midwife talked mostly about delivering babies and what the center catered to. They handled mostly skin diseases, malaria and issues linked to the blood. Some professionals were not truly trained to do their line of work, but the midwife we met was. There are usually ten to fifteen births per month. It rises during raining season. The health center charged twenty united states currency to deliver a child. Though it wasn't a lot of money to Americans, it was a lot of money to Africans.
