Upcoming to do list

For those of you who are wondering what work I am doing... here is my upcoming to do list: 1. I recently applied for a grant for a latrine project and am hoping for funding to come through on that to build seventeen latrines before the rainy season (beginning as early as May) and will make it so there is a bathroom in every family compound in the village! 2. I inherited the end of a well project where only a meter needs to be dug to ensure year round usage. My counterpart is waiting for the well digger to be at his house so we can more definitively start the conversation on when it will be done (before May). 3. I am working on starting a avocado tree nursery with my counterpart to bring avocados into the region since they are imported from Guinea (although the trouble is finding seeds, we have a few prepped now!) 4. My work zone is doing a school mural tournee where we will be visiting our five villages, painting a world map on the primary school. 5. I will be getting into more health related work by doing malaria surveys within my village to determine bed net distribution as well as looking into plants to plant to discourage the presence of mosquitos in the village. 6. I am a SeneGAD regional representative, so I am middleman in communicating between the board and our region about gender and development activities on a monthly basis, in addition to coordinating the Marie Sylvester Scholarship within Kedougou. There is a quarterly meeting coming up in April where I will be traveling north to attend. Hopefully a lot will happen since International Women's day is March 8th! 6. I will be attending an AgroForestry Summit in April where all volunteers in the sector are encouraged to attend to share best practices, share seeds, and experiences. Still toying with a garden in my backyard and am starting to learn how to make these decorative grass place mats with a neighbor as a means of hopefully passing the time during the hot season!
