Just finished the first day of the Stomp Out Malaria. Boot Camp Although I had trouble keeping my eyes open due to jetlag I was very interested in the topics we covered. Something we covered today is social media.
I never thought I would do much online social networking in Africa, but we are using social media during the conference as practice. I had to dust off the old twitter account that I used for about 5 minutes before letting decay over the past few years. Actually, Boot Camp is technology heavy with all the presentations on powerpoint or skype conferenced. It is actually really excited to skype some of the major players in the global health field.
It is funny because before coming to Africa malaria was not the first thing on my mind. Now, I see how Malaria effects many more people on a daily basis then a lot of things that Americans like to fund. It just doesn't affect as many Americans. You should check out "Stomp Out Malaria."
