training will enable him to teach small groups of volunteers
from his area about basic healthcare, hygiene, nutrition, first
aid and safer motherhood and also to monitor the health of local
mothers and babies. He will also work for Heart of Asia as our
local facilitator. His training, including course fee, books,
food and accommodation, is costing £1,200.
