More time in the field

I have had the pleasure in the first few weeks on the job to get to travel down to see many of the villages and communities where our project is working. Right before the Eid holidays, we traveled down to Khulna to a few villages in Jessore Sadar to see some of our work.

These were a few of my favorite pictures from that trip.

This is a group of village women that meets several times a month to discuss best feeding practices for their baby and to learn how to grow nutritious food that they can use to feed their families.

This is that same group of women planting some of the veggies that we encourage them to grow.

People typically don't have much land in the poorer areas where we work so they use whatever space they can; this family was using their tin roof to successfully grow a type of gourd we advocate them growing.

This man works as an agriculture extension worker and through his work with our project he incorporates nutrition messages into his ongoing agriculture networks and trainings. The plate in front of him is representing some of the foods that he is recommending that the women incorporate more into their diet.

This baby was too cute - despite all our commotion and pictures, he or she just kept on sleeping, paying no attention to the world. Looks like a pretty good life.
