We have reached the end of another week, and our project continues to forge ahead full speed. This week has been exciting with lots going on. Surveying of clinics is nearing the end, with only a few more to go before reaching our goal. We also visited another GRC, which was incredibly interesting. Mamta GRC, which we visited, as been in place for significantly longer than the GRC we are working with in Jasola Vihar, so it was great to get a grasp on their programs which are similar to what we are working on. A community meeting in Shaheen Bagh was also held this week, which illuminated another 4 volunteers for Community Health Volunteers.
We are very excited to see outside support and participation! We are also continued to “train the trainers” of the Community Health Volunteers. It has been a challenge to be both the teachers, and often times the student as we are constantly learning as we go. Language and cultural barriers continue to present themselves, but the interest and engagement from the women has been rewarding. We look forward to continuing our many tasks in the next two weeks. We are also excited to be going to Amritsar this weekend to see the Golden Temple. It will be our first trip outside of Delhi for the four of us together, so it is sure to be an adventure.
