What I've Been Up To...

I have been diligently updating my work projects descriptions to the right! Here's a quick run-down of what I've been doing in my last months of Peace Corps service:

In September I directed a young womens' empowerment summer camp event. For more about that click here.

I finished up my public health a hygiene project with the construction of quality latrines in every household in my village. Click here for photos and a project description.

We held a rainy season open field day at the Master Farm last week where 70 community farmers learned about the many progressive farming techniques we're implementing at the field.

The biggest project I have been working on is a series of demonstration/experiment plots assessing the potential of an innovative rice farming technique. Click here for a chronological description of how it's been going. The most recent addition includes pictures and descriptions of interesting ways the farmers I work with have been controlling pests in their rice fields.
