Progress in the Rain

I’ve been in Fondwa for the last 2 weeks as of last Saturday. I returned to the school first and tried to get all remaining data (heights, weights, hemoglobin) for children who were not around during the initial assessment in March. I’m up to 93% of all children in the school and hope to complete all of them this week. After that I started visiting homes where I’ve been doing the community assessment. I’ve visited 40% of the homes so far. It has been raining a lot so that has made some of my days longer as the mountainside is very muddy when it rains but I’ve been visiting 5-6 houses on average everyday which should allow me to get to all of them by the end of my time here though some of them are 2 hours walk away.
