Before we do anything in a community, we ask three questions: What do you need us to know? What do you want to know from us? What might you do to stay safe and solve this? Communities are the experts. We are their guests. https://t.co/fcczGHJYtv

What does it actually look like when a training “sticks”?
For one group of community workers in Cameroon, it looks like three years of weekly follow-up calls, long after the official training ended. Read here: https://t.co/xBQEuVZxth

What happens to Presence when language falls away?
