The Tools for Life prestest ends November 30th. Please give us your
input before we finalize the contents of this health communication kit
for front line community health workers in Africa. Many people like you
have already contacted us via this web site, with specific questions,
concerns and thoughts about the draft text for 28 health activity cards
and 40 information cards. Since August 1998, over 5,500 hits
from 29 countries have been made to the Tools for Life web site. We have
used your input to make corrections, additions and improvements to this
innovative set of materials. A training guide has been added and is now
ready for further review. Additional digital photographs are now posted
and more will be added as they become available. Please take a moment
and revisit this site and let us know what you think
of it now.

With your help the African Regional Tools for Life is becoming a working
tool for community health workers. Designed to enhance community health
workers’ education, motivation and counseling skills, Tools for Life
will also help community health workers provide consistent health
messages to their communities. These messages are based on current
protocols used by the international health community and will be updated
accordingly.

Tools for Life will be finalized in December 1998 (in English) and
translated into French in January 1999, making it appropriate for most
African nations. It will be put up on the his web site so that you can
download Tools for Life, modify it to meet your needs, reproduce it, and
distribute it to community health workers. A CD-ROM version will also be
made available for those who lack Internet access.

Tools for Life is designed by The Johns Hopkins University/Population
Communication Services project in
collaboration with the Academy for Educational Development with
technical review from leading international health organizations.
Funding is provided by the United States Agency for International
Development.

We invite you to review these materials and write suggestions in the
comment boxes that appear at the end of each page. The names of those
who contribute will be posted on the contributors’ list. Project
designers will respond via E-mail to specific questions or concerns that
people may have about the Tools for Life kit.
