We have been a little uncertain about our future plans here, with Dolly switching from agriculture to ???. Happily, some of those question marks are beginning to transform into answers. The doctors have brought up several ideas for what she can work on next, and there is at least some short-term funding available.

The most interesting of the possibilities is Dolly doing detailed case studies of a number of patients with the goal of identifying the socioeconomic factors contributing to their health problems. This would also involve her going to the villages where the patients live to do first hand assessments of the issues they face. She's been traveling to villages for her agriculture work and has enjoyed it, and she's excited about the possibility.

I have not gone to the villages with her, but I have heard her stories. She's not really posting on her blog anymore, so maybe I'll relay some of her stories here in the future.
