The Ambulance
This is the “ambulance” and
our form of transportation to our community en La RACCS. We pack as much of our
supplies, mosquito nets, mud boots, and bags on top and hope we have enough
room for ourselves below. 
La Danta: Presentation of Nutrition Information to El Cerro
We traveled to a distant part
of the community during our second visit. Some of the community members were
nice enough to lend us horses to make the journey. We presented the statistics
we collected from our health stations during the first visit and discussed
portion size and food groups with a group of women from this sector of the
community. We also reviewed danger signs during pregnancy and discussed the
steps to take if one of these danger signs occurs to oneself or a neighbor. 
La Danta: Women’s Empowerment
This is a picture of Kenia, a
nurse from AMOS who works specifically with the community of La Danta and a few communities nearby. We were going house to house on this day gathering
data for our barrier analysis. We are currently looking for barriers to
pregnant women in the community completing at least four prenatal checkups during their
pregnancies. We will be leaving tomorrow to go back to the community for
further training with the “Madres Voluntarias” and to collect more data from
the women in the community.
