Village Health Worker Group:
Jayesh (Translator extraordinaire)
Jayesh grew up at The Comprehensive Rural Health Project (CRHP) in Jamkhed. He has been working for the youths and women farmers at CRHP since 1996. More recently he has worked as a social worker and training coordinator on campus.
He has been a huge asset for us here during Photovoice as he is just as passionate about the project as we are and has developed deep and meaningful relationships with the communities we work with. We can't thank Jayesh enough for all of his help with the project. |
