Today morning I woke up to a Facebook message with a video from kids we have been working in Tanzania. It’s an incredible honor to work with project SHINE and Dr. Sheri from University of Calgary.
I just wanted to quickly share the video; and I will let Dr Sheri write more extended set of posts on how we are trying to connect science education and sanitation and global health to bring health solutions from the ground up; locally brewed and executed.

You can read more about the SHINE project here:

When results from this study are ready; we will share them openly. Until that time, please wash your hands.
Cheers
Manu
