Catch me if you can

So... Had the meeting with the minister of health last night and I was really impressed with her response. She seemed genuinely interested in listening to our presentation and took the time to discuss and critique our findings. I have to say though, I had a bit of a moment of wondering WTF I was doing. As we approached security of the government buildings and as I opened my laptop with our presentation and talked about our findings I couldn't help feeling a bit like Leonardo Dicaprio (not in Titanic!) in catch me if you can. The random turn of events; getting on a plane to fly half way around the world to collaborate with people I'd never met in person and then presenting my findings to the highest level of government representative... RANDOM!

Luckily this little girl from Reporoa had two things going for her (1) a copy of her degree to present for authentication and to remind her that she had actually worked to get here and (2) her bluff hadn't been called yet! Haha!
