This summer, my co-intern and I have been interning with the Global Health Collaborative and participating in Mbarara University's community placement program. We spent the first week of the summer at the Mbarara University of Science and Technology taking a course on the process of designing, implementing, and evaluating a public health project. Since then, we have been in the rural village of Bugoye where we are working as part of a group of Ugandan university students to apply what we have learned to a project aimed at improving hygiene and sanitation. In addition to implementing our intervention, we have been involved with several projects associated with the Global Health Collaborative's Bugoye Integrated Community Case Management Initiative (BIMI), including GPS mapping the locations of community health workers and analyzing records data from Bugoye Health Center III.
