AIDS 2008 Day 3: The Good, Bad and Ugly

The Good:

  • The African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF). Following the idea of Akina Mama wa Afrika, AWDF is run by African women for African women, meeting the needs of those groups who are dismissed by larger funding organizations.
  • The Mexican torta; it’s a sandwich only better!
  • Meeting up with friends and colleagues from past conferences and experiences and catching up.


The Bad:

  • When it rains so hard the sound of the water hitting the roof completely drowns out the plenary speaker.


The Ugly:
  • Me forgetting that the number on the signature for my e-mail is for my parents’ house. Then having someone you are trying to impress call and talk to your mom. Good news is, he thought it was hilarious.
