(For those of you new to the mailing list, DPC stands for Digital
Polyclinic, a new health-centric spin-off of DSH.)

We're starting to get our village mediators to run the DPC women's
health program in a village.

Our village mediator was tasked to gather an audience and find a room
in her village.  Yesterday was the first day of screening.  She
recruited 18 women from her village.  All 18 showed up, and 4 had to
leave earlier.  It was just a pre-test and an introduction and it was
a good session.  But I was mildly worried that if we lost 4 women
everyday, we'd end up with no one soon :)  (This is supposed to be a
10-day program, about 2 hours per day; and with mediation, it might
last twice as many days.)

Today was the second day, when the "meat" of the program was starting.
 Instead of losing people, we end up with 32 women!  (4 had to leave
earlier.)  Apparently word spread in the village and many more than
those initially invited came!  The tiny room was packed so tight that
the fainter had to curl up and sit inside a window frame.

The village has about 150 people, so not counting kids, I think
probably most of the women in the village came.  You can tell the
level of engagement just by looking at the women's faces---testament
that the featured doctors on the video did a really good job: there
was nothing flashy on the screen, just a nice doctor talking to
village women like the audience themselves.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome Julia (from the Univ
of Washington, again) to DSH!   The cow town army is growing!  (We'll
soon have Ronak here too, and for a change, he's from Tufts.)  Julia
was running day care for the trainees' kids today.  She gets the most
flattering of the cow town introduction pictures:

Will put up more pictures later when I have time.
