I totally agree with what you are doing and how you are approaching your research. So often we don’t ask the affected people to address the issues as they see and we make the ASSUMPTIONS as to what should be their number ONE concern. I met with a professor earlier this week and she deals with public health and architecture and she brought up the same point. “Let the people ARTICULATE for themselves what they need”, how else can we begin to truly help??!!! Tu fais des bonnes choses ma chere. We should start our own non-prof;) Miss ya.
Gros bisous,

Melissa!
I am so inspired chica by what you are learning from the beautiful students in Uganda! I was struck by how much the children value education as well–isn’t that so interesting when unfortunately, there are some kids here in the states that don’t value education as much or even realize what a privilege it is to be able to get a free education (at least through high school) in this country! Anyway, I really loved the innovative activities that you used to gather this data from the children including having them draw what they need to live happy and healthy lives–KUDOS to you lady !
Take care,
