Health and Well-being: Challenges for Nawantale, Uganda

This story goes back to an email in 2006 that Eva Shaw, a former HIV/AIDS volunteer in Uganda sent to her mother Kay Grosso, shortly after some 50 mud huts were destroyed in a flood in the village of Nawantale, far away from Uganda's capital, Kampala. Shaw asked her mother to help in organizing mosquito netting and tents. Kay Grosso and Eva Shaw have written companion articles on both a personal and academic level how extreme poverty, minimal healthcare, and missing intergenerational educational contexts cry out for successful Montessori intervention.
