We were able to be Part of a PEPFAR retreat to Bagaanara!! We went with the leaders from USAID, UNAID, CDC, Peace Corps and the Ministry of Health. There was also the Washington DC based part of the PEPFAR Guyana team. They were putting together the plan for 2008. It was amazing to see them work, discuss programs and understand how PEPFAR unites all of these groups. It was also a beautiful resort on the Esiquibo river. We took a 2 hour bus ride and then a 1 hour boat ride to get to the resort. We were there for 2 days! We were invited by the USAID director Julia Reihwinkle-Roberts. She has been very kind to us. The picture is Annah and Asmita in the speed boat. 
This is Annah doing Karaoke with two girls from the Washington DC PEPFAR Core team-Guyana. She tore it up for a song, but got self conscious. The other two girls sang it up for about half an hour. I played Ping pong with the Program directors daughter-Ashley. It was fun! We had a first big rain storm and it left many of our neighbors flooded with about a foot of water. It was crazy. Hope everyone is doing well! Rock on everyone!
Peace from Guyana
Lori and Annah

How did Lori stay out of all your pictures so far? C'mon! =D
Wow! I'm going to now look up PEPFAR to find out what it means.
Here's a link to Guyana's PEPFAR site.
