Hey guys! First off, thanks for everything you're doing, it takes a very special person.

I'll actually be traveling to the Volta region, namely Ho and surrounding villages, for four weeks this May. I'll be studying any issues that arise when introducing improved sanitation, i.e. DIY composting toilets, in an attempt to make the transition as approachable and economically feasible as possible.

I obviously have some insight into the issue already but would be curious to get the point of view of someone working there, especially in the medical field. Assuming it's common in your area, my biggest question would be how people view inadequate sanitation/open defecation. Is it something so ingrained in many people that you'd expect a transition to improved sanitation to be difficult or do you see the potential and desire for improvement? Any other tips or words of advice on approaching this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Appreciate the reply! It certainly is going to be tough, but we have to start somewhere. I'll be sure to PM you in May. Thanks for the help!
