My position with Salt Investments is to do Community Relations and Training. We are starting to work on the school and community medical clinic that Salt Investment is interested in helping to facilitate. Souleiman Rirach, my colleague, and I are going into Djibouti City tomorrow to talk briefly with the Minister of Education about their plans out at the Lac Assal area. Soueiman is my right hand man, the arranger of everything. He speaks 5 languages- Somalie, French, English, Dutch and Afar. Here is a picture of him in front of the OPS clinic onsite. Without him, I could not get very far on these projects.
We are also meeting with two guys from the United Nations Development Project (UNDP) about their plans out here. We are also ordering and picking up more meds for our OPS employee clinic onsite. It is so in need of supplies. Right now it has one elderly male nurse and a few drugs, 1 desk, a sink and two beds with an oxygen canister. Need to assess what else we really need. We are supposed to be getting another nurse. But, no doctor as of yet.
