Just finished a lovely Saturday morning with a woman from Zambia who lives right by me.  One of my surgical partners was doing a surgery for her and happened to ask where she was from.  When she said Zambia, he mentioned he had a friend going there.  She gave him her number which he passed on to me.  Such amazing connections even before I head over.  Her uncle is a pathologist at the main hospital in Lusaka.  This is perfect since one of my goals is to help be a connection to those farther from the city who need more advanced medical care.  I spent 2 hours with her and her 2 sons swapping Zambia stories and gaining insight.  All this while beautiful snow is falling down...now for the ski trails!
