Update

Below are photos from recent life in Namibia:
Last weekend, my community counterpart and I hosted a nutrition/healthy lifestyles workshop for people in our village. The focus was on a healthy diet, especially one incorporating fruits and vegetables. I wrote a grant to begin a garden and soup kitchen project for individuals in our village living with HIV and AIDS. What we noticed is that many people were not certain how to incorporate vegetables into their diet. So the workshop was aimed at educating the public on the importance of a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables. We had a great turnout and it was WONDERFUL to see our community so happy and engaged on this important topic.
I also traveled to the coast recently. Here are some shots of the coast and "Dune 7"- one of the largest dunes in Africa.
There was also this interesting salt mine...
Enjoy your weekend . . .
