...laura & her scarves...

One of my new little friends in Guinea
I am so known for wearing scarfs that for my 30th Birthday
my friends on the ship had a "dress like Laura Z" themed party! Miriam
one of my buddies, looked freakishly like me!
As one of the Nurse Clinical Educators aboard the ship we had an IV start
class for the nurses that didn't know how to start IVs. I had to learn before
the class myself, and my amazing friend donated his veins
to my learning- Over a number of days this guy let me place 14 IVs in him!
Some of my little friends in Sierra Leone
One of my little friends in Togo
This little Guinean girl was brave...most the little kids here run away
from white skin, not this little girl, she marched up to me, pointed
at my camera, then she crouched down next to me, for a photo, we took one,
I showed it to her, she smiled, and walked away...just like that!
