Little guy examining how the survey is going so far.

A remote barangay (neighborhood/village) where we assessed immunization coverage.

I told myself at least five times while crossing this bridge "It's okay, you can swim. It's okay, you can swim."

"Baby Barangay Health Worker." Cutie-pie daughter of one of the many fabulous BHWs we've worked with.

Lanzones (fruit). As far as I can tell, there's no English translation. Sweet little chestnut-sized guys.

Whoops. Overheated and expired vaccine in a rural health center.

DIY vaccine sorting system using plastic cups. Heck, whatever works.

Rural village near the ocean in Zambales Province (that's the water at the horizon). Note the hammock. Would have been perfect except for the nearly 100-degree heat.

Vaccines of the future! Measles-Mumps-Rubella given in 2015? (must have meant 09/15/12?)

Doctor Madonna (seriously) giving feedback to the midwives at a rural health unit. I can't remember what we were laughing about, but at least this shows that it's not all hard work!

Chicken pox! Ouch! Poor little swollen toes won't even go into his shoe :-(

Souvenir take-home turnip pies from one of the health centers.

What kind of cheese do you want? Hmm. I think I'll try the "Strong and Bitey."

Something about this vaccine-monitoring chart doesn't look right. Actually, several somethings: it's below the recommended temperature, it's just a bit too perfect, and it looks just like the example drawing on the left. I think somebody misunderstood how this was meant to work. (The temp in the fridge was actually high, not low, when we checked, which is just as big a problem).
