Inspired by getting to know about different garbage management models shared by the CWS team in a recent workshop for partners and other organizations, a delegation of 43 people, including local duty bearers, Vietnam Women’s Union members, project partners and Child Fund staff in Hoa Binh province, visited Thai Nguyen district for some on-site learning. Because of the large number, people formed smaller groups and visited families in several villages to learn, up-close, about household and community garbage management – from household separation to community collection – before gathering together for a plenary discussion and Q&A. Now, our Vietnam team is hopeful that the information and experience shared during the visit will be food for thought that nourishes action for improving environmental sanitation in Hoa Binh.
