The grant process is delayed yet again as I need secondary approval for my project, which translates into two more weeks of waiting for an answer as to whether or not the grant is approved.
In the meantime, I’m working on visual aids and murals for the health workers and matrone (midwife) that works at the health hut in my village. Below is the nutrition mural we’re planning to paint this week at Fodé Bayo’s health hut:
Very exciting, I know. Sarcasm aside (sorry I’m frustrated with the grant delay after working to get everything lined up perfectly for the review committee on time), murals and visual aids are really effective learning tools to use with an illiterate population, which majority of the people who use my health hut are. And painting murals is a relaxing thing to do all day. At least it’s still cold season.
