Back in March we graduated our 10th cohort of Community Health Leaders. Since we had to send the last report before the big day, I wanted to share a photo of the happy grads now. The ladies were so excited and proud of their achievement – as were we!
And on June 26th we started cohort number 11! We’ve got a fun group of 10 women who are already acting like they’ve known each other all their lives, rather than just 3 weeks.
The new students range in age from 16 to 47, and are representing 5 different communities in Baitoa.
This group has been especially participative, sharing their questions, opinions, and even stories about past abusive relationships and how they’ve overcome personal struggles.
The women have also shown a high level of commitment – we’ve had some rainy days recently, which would normally result in some people not showing up, but these leaders have had 100% attendance!
A couple ladies have also had other obstacles arise – one is going through a divorce and now a single mother, while another recently started a new job – but they are both determined to continue attending classes, and we will do whatever we can to support them.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue growing our family of Community Health Leaders, which we wouldn’t be able to do without your support – MUCHAS GRACIAS! <3
