It's been a busy and fun past few days! Yesterday, we got to interact with Laerdal's Mama Natalie and Neo Natalie up-close. It was interesting to work with the training products in a simulation setting to really understand the value of the education paired with physical simulators. After that, we did a session on design thinking to understand how empathy and user feedback can really help you design better objects (even wallets)!
After that, we headed over to Pulpit Rock for a hike via bus and ferry boat. Because the weather was cloudy, we literally walked through clouds on our way to the top of the rock! I think it made a lot of the hike seem very mystical and mysterious. It also made it more difficult, most of us took a tumble a few times and Melissa even lost the sole of her shoe (they now live in a dumpster). And about 12 of us got lost somewhere up in the mountains and it took a group of shouting friends and Tor Laerdal to get us back to the rock itself. But we made it! :) Some soup and coffee helped warm us up for the long ride home. It also started clearing up on our way down from the hike, meaning we got to enjoy spectacular views of hidden lakes nestled in the mountains and the sunset from a distance.
Also, the Nairobi airport had a fire so we're no longer flying there this evening, but will be leaving Norway on Friday morning and going through Tanzania! Not sure about the exact logistics of that, but hopefully we catch a glimpse of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Today, we discussed some of the up-and-coming projects in the global health field, and were able to have a focused session with people working on the fetal heart rate project at Laerdal. We also all completed hands-only CPR training!
