My Projects for World Malaria Month

World Malaria Month is over now and I am very happy with what I was able to do for my part in the fight against malaria! I was ale to work with many different people and groups over the past two months on a variety of projects. I was able, with the help of some of my fellow volunteers, to complete a survey of more than 270 people in Bamenda on their experience with malaria; teach the Grassroot Soccer SKILLZ Malaria curriculum for more than 120 students in three levels of Primary school; sensitize more than 140 people on malaria and what they can do to protect themselves and their families; train more than 52 teachers and health care workers on malaria transmission and prevention, bed net care and repair, net transformation, and net beautification; hold eight malaria-themed art and story contests in which more than 150 children participated; and spread awareness of malaria in Cameroon to people in the United States through various social medias and with the help of my friends and family back home!

I have been enjoying my time here in Peace Corps Cameroon but sometimes I wonder if I am really making a difference in people's lives. Over these past two months I have felt so rewarded and  appreciated by the people with whom I have worked. It was wonderful to work with people who wanted to learn and improve their lives. I'm glad that I was able to do all of this and I am excited for what projects may be next!
