Finishing Up

We're back in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia doing some wrap up work.  We have printed the revised trainee manuals to be sent back to Ganta for the July training, and have been talking with Curamericas Liberia about how, if appropriate, the Compassionate Labor program could be rolled out to other communities.  This is an extremely exciting prospect and we are excited to work with our Liberian partners to support them in any way that we can.

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to live and work in Liberia this past month, and have enjoyed so much getting to know our participants and community members.  While the impact of a project like this one is very difficult to quantify, we'd like to share some of the participant feedback received from anonymous evaluations.

"The training was educational and useful."

"Knowledge gained will improve my care and even encourage mothers to have hospital/facility delivery."

"I want compassionate labor to continue training in Liberia and in the various counties of Liberia."

We would also like to thank our friends and families for supporting us as we undertook this project, and we are excited to see you all soon!
