We left the hospital this morning and traveled by boat to Chilmari which is a village on the river bank of the mainland. We had a training session with some of the local paramedics. They are very nice women and eager to learn. Then, Jasim and I found our way to the guest house where we plan to stay for the next 6 days or so. It is a nice place (in Bangladeshi terms). I upgraded for an extra ~200 taka a night (a little less than 3 dollars) so that I could have an actual toilet...I am in the VIP room!! We are currently sitting outside at a table where they feed us because there is no electricity right now and it is really dark in our rooms. However, the sun is quickly setting and I am not sure what we will do. There is electricity at times we are just not sure when those times are. The plan is to have dinner tonight, get some rest, and leave in the morning to go out to a nearby char and visit a satellite clinic there. We will be seeing children and screening them for malnutrition.
