Village Health Forum

We had a health forum in my village to promote the water disinfectant product "Sur Eau," HIV/AIDS prevention, and the moringa tree (used for nutritional benefits and herbal healing). The forum included a girls soccer game, HIV/AIDS video screening, skit night, dance, and health information sessions. I also got to paint a mural to promote the three health themes of the forum. Six fellow volunteers came out in support and it was a great time!

Health Minister's Visit

The health minister came to my village, which is a very big deal. The local officials gave speeches about health needs in the area and the health ministry's plan for the coming year.
