Stepping Stones in Vanuatu 4 • Introduction of presenters • History • SS Partners • Follow -ups • Challenges • Lessons learned • Future initiatives Presented by Obed Melvin (Wan Smolbag) Terekea Kaltabang (Peace Corps)
What Happened/Lessons Learned • Volunteers were ready, but communities weren’t • We tried to push things too quickly • We need to work with Village Health Workers in the communities to help make things happen • We need to start early
Future Initiatives • “Traem Bakegen” (Try it again!) • Look at the “seasonal calendar” to make sure that our timing is right • Think about sites where there will still be a volunteer next year, or else a Village Health Worker to encourage the community to keep going with the training • Have the Bislama manuals ready to go
