Last week I had a visitor
at site! As much as I wish that it could
have been my family, it was a very close follow-up.
Julia, a fellow Volunteer
from my group and a dear friend, came to Ishaka, as she is interested in
starting a health co-op at her site. She
spent a day at the hospital gathering information and exchanging contacts. This was also a great opportunity for me to
learn about health insurance schemes, their purposes, and how they benefit everyone
involved. We also exchanged income
generating activities and ideas on how to strengthen the scheme by introducing
health education to the groups that are benefiting from the plan.
The workshop that my
Supervisor had organized allowed for us to learn, exchange ideas, and create a
partnership. After a Mediterranean
dinner of falafel, pita, and salad at Andrew’s, I realized that this is all
apart of the Peace Corps experience… Good food, good friends, and working
together to help reach a common goal.
