During the last few weeks in
Hosavidahundi we have been very busy with various tasks. To begin we carried
out different PRA activities including a timeline, Venn diagram and a map of
the village which allowed us to fully integrate with the community.
Once the PRA was complete we
moved onto preparing for our first health camp and then made progress with
beneficiary selection, which is where we chose the villagers for whom we will
build toilets. We have also spent a lot of time undertaking surveys within our
village and the two surrounding villages, Hosaveedu and Madavilahali. We have
also spent some time getting to know the elders and children of the village by
playing cricket, getting involved in Indian songs and dances and drinking
chai.
Our
progress to date includes completing over 100 surveys, selecting 20
beneficiaries and successfully running a health camp at which 161 people were
seen. We were also able to reach over 100 people with health awareness lessons.
We are all having a great time and look forward to sharing our experience with
everyone back home.
Everyone says hello to their friends and family back home and send our love.
