With participants of the first regular meeting, Kenya Director Dr. Satoshi Kaneko and Local Coordinator Ms. Yuka Itakura
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, we have held meetings mainly online since the start of project in February 2021, but this is the first time that we have actually held a face-to-face meeting.
As a result, we raised each other's morale and united as a team as we anticipate to start trainings for about 800 community volunteers soon. We will work together as a team to reduce the prevalence of jiggers disease.
