Community Health Workers receive their polo-shirts

Alice reports from Nairobi that she had a great day yesterday delivering the polo-shirts (two each) to the wonderful Community Health Workers. Petrasancta people will hardly need convinced of the value to morale and efficiency of a clear, heraldic identity and the CHWs clearly value that. It will make them more easily identifiable in the communities to people who need help, so well done everybody. Our next project is to provide them with bum-bags to carry the medicines to their patients.
