It is nice to be back in the field again, even if for such a short time. My research partner and I went to a brainstorming session for the event the New School is hosting on Sunday. Our event is a networking session and performance by local artists. We’re also going to print out our pamphlet detailing the health clinics and hours of operation. It will be a nice culmination of all of our research and a nice party of the community and those people that have helped us during our research.
As for the fieldwork portion of the day, we went to a women’s shelter in Alex. It is the new building where they have thirty rooms (private rooms) for women that are victims of domestic abuse. The shelter was much nicer than any facility in the states and the women can stay for a year and a half (significantly longer than the six to eight weeks in the states). The center also provides free counseling and HIV testing.
