Today was similar to yesterday in that it was mainly transcribing. Grace, Kayla, and Noah met Alieu at World Hope and began the transcription process. Noah and Kayla rotated with each other while Grace worked on a document regarding finances. Noah and Grace had spoken with Hassan and the logistics manager at World Hope to get Hassan’s bike situation settled.

Matt Samara and Wara went to Magbenteh Community Hospital with the cervical cancer team from World Hope. They got 12 interviews for Part A of our cervical cancer study. When they returned to World Hope, they continued inputting the demographics of the 200 interviews into the Excel sheet. The team continued transcribing with Wara and Alieu and have almost transcribed all the interviews!

Our time in Sierra Leone is coming to an end as we are leaving Friday but, so far, the Ukweli team has accomplished a lot both for Ukweli and the cervical cancer study. But each member has also learned a lot from our time here; we have grown a lot as a team and have developed communication and leadership skills.
