I am a professor in Sacramento. For 7 years I have taken my doctoral students to Vietnam to work in the Hue area in small villages training women to become health advocates. I then pay them to visit families for instruction and training on changing health behaviors to reduce parasitic disease. In January 2017, we tested all first and second grade school children and found that 90% had worms.

I then pay them to visit families for instruction and training on changing health behaviors to reduce parasitic disease. In January 2017, we tested all first and second grade school children and found that 90% had worms. We completed the treatment and the intervention and reduced it by 66%. We collaborate with Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy and an NGO, Hue Friendship Organization. We are planning our next trip to this area in January, 2018. See Listeningtodragonflies. org , our website, for more information. I would like to speak with your group to demonstrate the work of the project and discuss your group contributing. Please email me or call me at 415-971-1127.
