>> Hello!  I was wondering if anyone on this list knows of:
>>
>> 1) Any international health organizing projects?  Other than
>> some work that ACORN does in South America, I have found very few.
>> 2) Any domestic health organizing groups in francophone countries?
>> 3) Any teaching materials about organizing that are visually-based or
>> designed for populations with extremely low (as in 10%) literacy?
>>
>> I co-founded and direct the Mali Health Organizing Project.
>> So far our organizing trainings have been with populations that have
>> at least 50-60% literacy (our community committees), but we want to
>> start teaching organizing as well as health education in peoples homes
>> (eg, about 2000 people, almost none of whom are educated at all or
>> literate).  We teach health using these visual flashcards that tell a
>> story.  We are thinking about doing to same for organizing.
>>
>>  I would love to see how people have done this.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> Caitlin
