WASH Parties!

With some left over money from my latrine construction project the communities celebrated the completion of the latrines with a water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) party! We gave diplomas to the men that went through the construction training, acknowledged and thanked them for their hard work. There were four stations with different activities for the kids (and turns out the adults liked it too) to teach them about hand washing and to celebrate good hygiene practices. Here are some photos of those parties.

The cutest and most grammatically correct gift I've received by the community! 

OH, and big thanks to all PCVs that helped with the parties!! I couldn't have done it without you!
