>
>To Whom It May Concern:
>
>The School of Nursing at the University of Ottawa is the executing agency
>for a bilateral Maternal and Child Health (MCH) project in Yunnan, China.
>Focussing on minority nationalities in 10 of the poorest counties in
>Yunnan, the project aims to improve the quality, accessibility, and timely
>availability of priority MCH care.
>
>A major component of the project is the training of MCH workers using
>community-based educational programming with participatory, experiential
>teaching methods. This will be accomplished using teams of trainers and a
>`train-the trainer`approach.
>
>We are in the process of gathering MCH teaching materials for use in the
>training of MCH workers in developing countries. A list of the teaching
>aids you know of or your organization has available (books, manuals,
>slides, flip charts, etc.) would be most useful. Information on other
>organizations who have MCH teaching materials would also be helpful.
