Nutrition Weeks: the second cycle of 2013 begins!



Hello World Relief community! We are D and Lo, the current World Relief interns who will be updating you on the second cycle of Nutrition Weeks (NW) in the Kaduha hospital catchment region of Nyamagabe.

We had our first introduction to NW in the Musange sector (Jenda health centre) in the Gituntu village – a roller coaster 2.5 hr drive from our home/office in Nyamagabe. This region is among the first to start its second round of NW. The Community Health Workers (CHWs) who lead the NW sessions participated in a training session in May, 2013 to refresh their curriculum understanding and get pumped for the sessions.

The training in May was for the first three sectors only (including Musange) and they carried out their NW sessions in June. The remaining sectors throughout Kaduha are grouped into sections of nearby sectors which will have cascaded training and roll-out of NW from July to September.

The sessions we attended were full of rich discussion and observation so we’ll be sending you stories in a few segments. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
