Community health workers complete their training

Team A (Carol, Nancy, Karl and Joanne) went early to meet with the community health workers.  We wanted to recognize their efforts, provide needed supplies, hear their ideas for assistance, and to present a curriculum on assisting women in pre-natal care and difficult labors.  Karl and Nancy assembled and transported over 100 new-born care kits.  Carol brought infant dolls to help in teaching.  The entire engagement went very well, with 18 of the original 24 CHWs attending.  Their spirits are high and they are very effective in their village communities, sharing good practices in sanitation, food and water safety, malaria prevention, first-aid, and health assessment.  Carol reported that all 18 received certificates for completing the pre-natal and difficult labor training.  As part of their graduation, the group put on a skit about high-risk pregnancy.
