Welcome back, Kristen!
Thanks for sharing these photos of some of the beautiful people of Madagascar. I hope the Mothers and Children health program and the WASH program are becoming well established. It's good to see these programs take root, knowing that they will save lives.
On a practical basis, it's even good to see the photo of the latrines! I've learned a lot from UNICEF about how proper hygiene protects health, so I appreciate the illustration of the sanitary facilities being provided by our donations!
Looking forward to more photos. Thanks for sharing what you experienced during your field visit.
