Measuring in Guatemala

Back in February I had the opportunity to travel to Guatemala to participate in a workshop/ training about how to measure the results of different projects FH carries out. We learned about base line surveys, statistics, and anthropometric measurement (a big word for measuring height and weight, and an important measurement to determine prevalence of malnutrition).

I spent a good part of my week there in the meeting room of the hotel we stayed at, but we did get to leave one afternoon to visit one of the communities FH Guatemala works in near Coban. During our visit we got to meet leaders and families and hear about FH projects, and we also got to practice our anthropometric measuring skills with some of the kids in the community :)

When I got back, I jumped right in to preparing for our own base-line survey here in Peru, so I didn't have time to download my pictures to share. Here is a slideshow of my afternoon in the community:
