On Thursday April 22 I started a new class called "Health in Emergencies and Refugee Health". Actually it started on Monday April 19 but due to the volcanic ash I enjoyed an extended vacation in Switzerland. It is a great class; it's a pretty heavy work schedule but I really like it! It's Monday through Friday from 9.00-15.00 with an hour lunch break. It's very practical information about how to work in an emergency situation and what the most important things to look for are. We are talking a lot about the UN, the Red Cross, and the Red Crescent, which is great because I had just gotten a tour of these buildings while I was in Switzerland. And next Wednesday we are going on a tour of UNICEF in Denmark which I am very excited for!

Red Cross reunification initiativeBut with this heavy course load, combined with having two essays due I had been pretty busy which is why I haven't been very good at updating my blog. But now the essays are out of the way so I can concentrate on enjoying Copenhagen again, especially now that the weather is nicer! I don't even need gloves when riding my bike!!
