It is wonderful to have the new meeting rooms- HDI - Health Development Initiative, our partner organization, has been able to use the space for additional classes to help young adults learn about sexual health and reproductive education, known as the SHARE program. This program has been very well recieved by youth and their families.
The room has been an efficient place to provide both childhood immunizaiotns and vitamin D supplements by health workers from the local health center. All the younger children have received deworming medication, too. The communty health worker is holding up a large supply of a de-worming medicine donated by the Ministry of Health.
Nurses have also tested for signs of malnutrition by measuring height and weight of the children. Students are being monitored to watch for possible signs of protein and calorie deficiencies that can slow their normal rate of growth and development. This is a wonderful use of the space, and a great way to support healthy kids!
