Neither me <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">nor</span> Simon were sure what to expect when we first arrived in Dar es Salaam the 20th Mars but we are very happy with the outcome of our stay. We have meet a lot of amazing people, seen things we’d never thought we would see and perhaps the most important outcome; having to install a power back-up system for a hospital facing urgent difficulties. Since this post is the last post me and Simon will give we ought it to be time for a summary of our work.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hey!<br /><br />Another week has passed here in Kolandoto, me and Simon has for the last couple of days spent a ridiculous amount of time testing the UPS:es. The systems has proven to be much more robust than we intended them to be, which is a good thing! For instance, on a sunny day the eye theater is close to self-sustained and almost the same thing goes for the UPS in the maternity ward. We are currently evaluating what the most efficient way would be to load the UPS:es even more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though we are not leaving yet for another 9 days we had a final meeting with the staff of the hospital. We figured it would be a nice way to round off our stay here with a presentation of what we actually have been doing. As far as we reckon, the presentation was appreciated though we realized half way in that most people don't understand english. We got some help with the translation to Swahili and got to answer some questions, so we believe it worked out fine.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey!</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />The past week has been a good week. Not to much waiting in general and one of the two inverters which were suppose to be delivered on June 6<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>was instead delivered last Wednesday. This was truly good news since now we can assure that at least 2 out of the 3 UPS:ses works as intended before we departure on Maj 13.<br /><br />So this week we have been following the electrician closely. Yeah, it sounds ridiculous but it has proven to be necessary. For example, even though the installation of the UPS in Eye ward were finished two weeks ago we found out the electrician had installed another piece of equipment there which we had not requested. The company wanted to install a voltage stabilizer prior to the inverter, even though the inverter already has that functionality itself.. Their intentions are good though and we are happy with the work they put in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyhow, life in Kolandoto is appearing normal to us now. Ants establishing pathways across my bed, kids peeking through our windows at night and power outages on a daily basis is nothing out of the ordinary.</span></div>

Five weeks and Kolandoto Hospital is soon to be a hospital with close to full resilience to power outages. The week has unfortunately not been that exciting since most of the "entertaining" installations were finished last week. This week we have been installing the air condition in the UPS-rooms and visited the bank... twice. We also managed to find a faulty installation in the Eye theater, which we later got corrected. The solar panels were directly connected to the battery whereas they are actually suppose to go through the inverter before charging the batteries. This way we get the full potential of the panels. This week we are hoping to be able to perform discharging tests on the batteries in eye theater to see if they perform as intended.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">m </span>having a hard time believing we actually been in Kolandoto for four weeks now, which also means 50 % of our total stay has passed. Week four has been exciting, all solar panels are installed and almost all wiring and equipments are installed in the General- and Maternity theater. Unfortunately the inverters for the General- and Maternity theater are delayed and will first arrive to Kolandoto after me and Simon leaves (which we knew when we contracted the company). The option would be to have another brand of inverter instead, though this would result in a significant increased cost. And since we are on a tight budget, we choose to go ahead with the delayed delivery option.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have also got the time this week to do some testing of the finalized system in the eye theater. The UPS is working as intended and has already been practically used two times. Feels incredible to deliver a product and see it in full motion the very same week. The doctors and personnel are very grateful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Three weeks <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">have</span> passed and things are finally starting to happen here. The first UPS-system is soon to be fully installed in the eye theater which is very pleasing to observe. The UPS in the eye theater is the smallest of the three systems which will be installed in this project. Few companies in Tanzania <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">have</span> good references in installations similar to our request, hence seeing the contracted company performing above expectation is relieving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />The system is also installed with a switch which makes it possible to have all loads bypassing the inverter. We figured it is best to have the system installed that way in case the inverter breaks. Better to be safe than sorry! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have now been in Kolandoto for almost two weeks and even though I still not have gotten used to showering from bucket I must say I enjoy it here. Life is so much simpler. The perception of time here is a lot different from what we are used to, which in the beginning made us very frustrated. Here, time is seen as something which is coming and not as we see it, as something which is passing. The rain period has recently begun which is one of the reasons the power is cut off almost every day. The national grid company seems to turn of the power as soon as they are expecting bad weather. The N-1 criterion is far from fulfilled in eastern Tanzania.<br /><br />We have the last week managed to get a number of things done, still not as much as we wished to but it still turned out to be a moderate week. The company, which was later contracted, has visited Kolandoto and we have presented thoroughly what we expect from them. We have also managed to get a hold on a logging thermometer for measuring the rooms that the inverters and batteries will be stored.<br /><br />The coming week we will be at assistance for the electrician(s) to ease their work. We are on a tight schedule, so nothing can't go wrong (fingers crossed).<br /><br />By this time next week I hope we got some more installation-related pictures to share with you, this week however the following pictures gets to sum up the week.</span></span></span></div>

significant is its impact on the daily activities in the operating theaters. There
has hence been a request for a back-up system for the three operating theaters;
General theater, Maternity theater and Eye theatre.</span></span></span></div>

The first of us, Lisa, Nathalie, Stina, Annika and Michael, arrived at Kolandoto 12 days ago and we're starting to get settled in. Annika and Michael were here for a couple of days the first week to give the project a jump start and it sure worked! We were all exhausted after all the meetings and tours the first days. Eric and Therance arrived last Friday and we're now all busy with our separate projects.<br />
<br />
I (Lisa) am planning and conducting workshops for the new emergency department every Friday. The first one, an introduction workshop, was carried out last Friday and it went very well. The work group discussed threats/weaknesses and strenghts/opportunities for the emergency care given at the hospital.<br />
<br />

<br />
We did a "3 + 3 workshop" both regarding the present and the future. All participants got post-it notes to write down three bad things and three good things about the present which was then presented to the group and followed by a discussion to pick out the three most important ones. After that the participants got to write 3 more notes about future opportunities, the dream scenario. These were also presented and discussed. Three of the opportunities for the future were also picked out and pinned to the wall.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I presented the time plan in the beginning of the workshop, next to it is the final 3 +3 (+3).</i></div>
<br />
The result of the workshop is nine important things to consider in the future process of designing both the building for emergency care and the emergency care policy. I'm writing a conceptual program for the emergency department as a result of this workshop and this is to be presented tomorrow when the work group meets again.<br />
<br />
I'm also looking into planning a study visit with the work group to one of the other hospitals nearby. Dr. Katani is helping me to get in contact with the regional hospital in Shinyanga to see if they have built the emergency department they were planning last year.<br />
<br />
The staff here at the hospital has been very welcoming and eager to help. I've been sneaking around taking measurements of some of the buildings the last couple of days and I often get help and curious questions, especially about the laser meter. It is very nifty, big thanks to Annika for letting me borrow it!<br />
<br />
Stina and Nathalie have been focusing on the waste zone upgrade and been in contact with the company who can possibly deliver and install the <i>Dosatrone</i> at the pump house. I'll leave the details about it to Stina and Nathalie.<br />
<br />
Eric and Therance, having arrived a little later than the rest of us has had a couple of busy days inventorying the electricity system at the hospital and getting all the figures for the equipment and lamps and whatnot. The plan is to get tenders from Davis and Shirtliff as soon as possible to make a decision on the future UPS system. I'll leave it to Eric and Therance to write more about it when time comes.<br />
<br />
Now, it's soon time for dinner and some more preparation for my second workshop tomorrow!<br />
