During ur first week in Umeå we’ve been trying to get to know the city and some of its inhabitants. We have made a few studyvisits to some organisations doing social work (mainly working with alcohol and drug addicts) and we have also visited the Red Cross in Umeå. The most interesting studyvisit was the one we did at the infectionclinic at Umeå University Hospital. During the studyvisit we got to know about the HIV/Aids situation in this part of the country, there are about 100 people infected by HIV in Västerbttencounty (the total population in Västerbotten is 250.000 people).
Yesterday was the first day at our workplacments, unfortunately I was not able to show up at YMCA (which is my workplacement) since I have a bad cold but I hope to be able to go there tomorrow.
On Thursday we’ve planed to have the first group meeting, so far I don’t have any idea for a project but maybe some of the other participants have?
