Wednesday was my last meeting in village with my immediate supervisor. It was just a gathering of representatives of the village to discuss past and future projects. It went fairly well, although one village committee felt like they were out of the loop when it came to updates on my projects. It was a little frustrating for me to hear, since I had been inviting them to every meeting before but gave up after 6 cancellations.
At any rate, I would be happy to work with them in my last 6 months if they are good for their word. My clinic listed off all of my projects and we tried to discuss sustainability of projects and how to make sure that projects would continue after I leave. I am the last volunteer in my village, so it is a very important subject.
What I have slated for the last few months so far is: an HIV and AIDS mural, HIV workshops, nutrition workshops, the Hearth Model, a Family Planning theater presentation, world map murals, tree planting and a mosquito net campaign. I think that will be more than enough and likely is too much. I could get a lot more done on my own. Since my work is by definition community work I am at the mercy of community schedules.
I mean, anything we get done will be an improvement. So we will see.
