07.01.2019 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #73 Wow, what a beautiful world we live in! I think I climbed the most stairs I’ve ever climbed in my life, but it was sure worth the views at the top. Feeling incredibly thankful for this experience and these people 💕 • • • • • #howIseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorpslife #atweamountains #ashantiregion #naturalwonders #explorewhereyoulive #localtourist #getoutdoors #nature #chasingviews #littleadventures #hiking_my_life #peacecorpsfriends #lifeinghana #lifeabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary

06.06.2019 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #72 Last week, I co-lead a three day workshop with the Girl Child Coordinator at my District Education Office. We trained 130 educators on how to make ReUsable Menstrual Pads (RUMPs). The stigma around menstruation coupled with the high cost of menstrual products has devastating effects on girls around the world. Poor school attendance and performance, infections, and teenage pregnancy are all possible consequences. RUMPs are a great alternative that can help empower girls and keep them in school. Each teacher took a RUMPs supplies kit back to their school and was challenged to teach 30 students. I’m so excited to follow up over the next month to see the impact of the training. • • • • • #howIseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorpslife #healthvolunteers #menstruation #endstigma #womenshealth #femalehygiene #reusablemenstrualpads #keepgirlsinschool #letgirlslearn #communityhealth #thisispublichealth #lifeinghana #lifeabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary

05.31.2019 📍Ashanti Region, Ghana Entry #71 The Peace Corps Ghana World Malaria Month campaign came to a close at the end of the month! May was very busy, focused on organizing malaria prevention activities in the surrounding communities. The highlights include painting murals at two schools, stenciling at the local clinical, conical net demonstrations at various child welfare clinics, and seven Grassroot Soccer Malaria camps. I’m happy to be able to work with such wonderful volunteers and counterparts, and for the opportunity to meet new people through this experience, like the artist who kindly donated his time one Saturday morning to help me finish these murals. • • • • • #howIseePC #PCV #Peacecorpsghana #peacecorpslife #healthvolunteers #malariaprevention #worldmalariamonth #Fightthebite #zeromalariastartswithme #swatmalaria #murals #stencils #conicalnetdemos #grassrootsoccer #communityhealth #thisispublichealth #lifeinghana #lifeabroad #expatlife #wanderlistdiary

Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom! I’m so thankful for this time we got to spend together, road tripping through Ireland. I love you so much! 💞

Back in Ghana and time to get back to work! Ghana has seen a large decrease in all cause mortality rate of children under five. With continued focus on malaria prevention, we can reduce this number even further. Peace Corps Ghana’s World Malaria Month campaign continues through the end of May, and I’ve got many activities planned for the month. Follow along to see malaria prevention in action! 🚫🦟 Data provided by the President’s Malaria Initiative #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #MalariaMonday #EndMalaria
