CereAmine

I just found a video of a project I'm hoping to continue here. It actually takes place in Kaedi, so you'll get to see the city where I live! I actually know a lot of the volunteers and some of the Mauritanians in the video, too! The project is CereAmine, a nutritional flour substitute, that is a totally feasible solution for the malnutrition here. The volunteers here in Kaedi helped market the product, found a boutique owner to sell it, and set up an exchange program between a woman's cooperative "Promo Sante", the boutique owner, and a Maternal/Child Health center, the AMPF. I'm assigned to another health center, so I hope to bring this product there, encourage the nurses to use/sell it at their feeding centers, and create and increase production of the CereAmine among other cooperatives. Even if you aren't interested in the little short film, you'll see much more of Mauritania than my pictures have been able to capture!!
