Today we visited the Buhoma Community Primary School. Unfortunately only the P7 class was in session because all the others had already been released for vacation time. We spoke with the head master and then the pupils. Hopefully we will be able to arrange a project between the primary school and one of the High Tech Middle schools.
From there we walked to some nearby houses to conduct home visits in order to do a small survey of the area for CTPH. We walked with Sam, Alex, and David. The first home was actually very nice, everything was kept very tidy. The second home was also nice, but not a clean. They family was much larger and they did not use their mosquito nets properly. The final home was the most dirty, but we were actually able to talk to the head of the house. He was very kind, but did not keep his home or family in the healthiest conditions. Their goat shed was filthy and the goats themselves did not look very good. They did not have mosquito nets and his grand daughter had many infected cuts on her legs. We assisted her with some hand sanitizer, neosporin and Band-Aids.
We now are back at the camp and we are going to edit the form which is used for interviews/ observations at the home visits.
Visiting the homes was very interesting, we learned a lot of eye opening information and have formulated many ideas for projects that we can do to help these communities.
