Donkey and people
Here we are in Tunisia! Dr Jaber Belkhiria and Dr Tricia Andrade were awarded a University of California at Davis Blum Center Poverty Alleviation through Sustainable Solutions graduate student grant. We will be here for a month to assess the role of Tunisian donkeys in development.

Getting Settled

Jaber arrived a week ago to visit his family and begin veterinary networking. Tricia arrived yesterday after her first uneventful international flight. There was a lot to adjust to in the first hour - nine hour time change with no sleep; weather is very hot and humid; traffic and driving style is hectic; arabic language is totally undecipherable for this American. But no worries - the people are friendly and Jaber's family had an amazing lunch waiting for me.
