A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words (Part 1)

"Height and Weight" Tanzanian Style:  All children 0-5 years are weighed monthly.  Every baby comes to clinic with their own weighing pants.  The bigger kids do their best to hold onto the while they are weighed.  I am happy to report that at this mobile clinic nearly all of the children had gained weight and not one baby hit the ground. 
Can you imagine stirring enough ugali to serve 800 hungry students?  This man in the kitchen at Imagi Secondary School uses a 2x4 to get the job done.
