Catamayo, Ecuador.

International Research Training Course was a success. All participants arrived safely to the field.

Orientation and training for the Tropical Disease Research was completed today. Participants will travel later today to their respective activities in Catacocha, Cariamanga and Loja City.

Besides a couple of people with upset stomachs and sore throats, everybody is healthy.

Access to email by participants will be somewhat spotty. Remember, no news is good news.
