Return to Maputo Friday, July 17, 2009   On Thursday, July 16, we returned to Maputo, given the luxury of traveling via ANEMO's car and making the trip back much more comfortable for the 3 of us. Though the trip took 7 hours or more, it was much quieter than the bus trip (though we liked the singing, of course) and more pleasant than our midsummer Xai-Xai trip when we had Maria with us. The day was uneventful...we bought some local tangerines and cashews from the vendors along the way. Though we didn't stop at any hospitals, health centers or health posts - which we would have liked to have done - we struggled with our Portuguese to convince our driver to stop so we could take pictures of one of the village health centers.

About the Adventure July 9-18, 2009 In 2008, St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing at Moravian College partnered with nurses in Mozambique, Africa, to strengthen their membership organization, ANEMO. Strengthening the nursing force in this impoverished country is vital to improving health care for its people. During SON/Moravian’s second visit to Mozambique in July 2009, faculty members Dr. Lori Hoffman, Dr. Michele August -Brady, and Dr. Maria Schantz begin their work in Maputo (the capital), then travel to the province Inhambane to attend a regional meeting.
