We have visitors from New Zealand

 Our Humanitarian Supervisors Gary and Susan Winters came to see us the end of May.  They have lots of experience.
We took them to meet many key individuals related to diabetes prevention. Here are a few pictures. This is Dr. James Yaingeluo, Director of the Majuro Hospital Diabetes Clinic.
 This is a group shot showing us with nurse Nicki Hsu and Dr. Paul Chiang of the Taiwanese Medical Group.
 In between meetings one day, we took them to WAM, an organization that teaches young adults how to build the traditional Marshallese canoes. We hope to go for a ride one day.
At the end of the Winters' visit, they asked us to develop a framework for diabetes prevention in the Marshall Islands. In this picture, we met with the National NCD Committee about diabetes prevention ideas and they supported us.  We will work together - WODDE JIBBEL.
