I have been meaning to post a few photos of my last month of fieldwork. I conducted a series of focus groups with women in five different communities about their experiences with the goat project. I was also involved in a training of health & nutrition leaders regarding consumption of goat milk with a few of my favorite supervisors.
Media Luna
These are the women of my final focus group, and the supervisor who translated for us. They were a lot of fun, very friendly and forthcoming with their opinions.
Don Hector
I learned a lot from Don Hector while I was in Guatemala, and have a lot of respect for his experience with and approach to community development.
All of the women had at least one child with them, and things turned chaotic after the first hour. One woman had her husband with her to take notes because she was about to go into labor pretty much any minute.
Part of the training involved teaching the women to measure middle-upper arm circumfrance (MUAC). None of the children liked this very much, because when you pull up their sleeve they are convinced they are going to get a shot!
This little one was pretty brave though.
That is all for Guatemala, for now. Yukon photos from Ethan coming soon!
