April 5th
Crazy to think that
my birthday is coming up – doesn't really feel like it. As Sunyata
pointed out – a lot has happened in my 23rd year! With
many more things to come for year 24, I have no doubt.
Not much to say
about today. Finally did our first malaria sensibilization! It didn't
go off quite as smoothly as I'd hoped, but it was ok and the students
seemed moderately engaged. One ASC didn't show up and Catherine
didn't talk at all, but the other three that were there did a pretty
good job, although next time I'd like to prep a bit more. Next week
I'll be working with two of my favorite people, Rosalie and
Kimdraogo, both of whom speak French, so I think a quick planning
session would work really well before we begin, agreeing more clearly
on the points we'd like to cover. Emily mentioned that one ASC at
each CSPS is supposed to be responsible for malaria information and
trainings, so I'll ask Major tomorrow if we have one. Saturday is a
busy day – our first sensibilization on reproductive health for the
CM2 (5th grade, ages 11-16) at Ecole A, then the Napuusam
at the chief's palace, his annual party for the villages under his
domain.
