The training on Care if High Risk of preterm birth went very well, and it was particularly exciting to involve health workers from higher facilities to which we refer: Gulu Regional Referral Hospital and Lacor Hospital. We hope this will facilitate referrals of mothers and babies needing a higher level of care. During the training we received a mother with preterm labor and we had the opportunity to evaluate our knowledge from the training in a real life situation.\u00a0<em>(See Meg Carmel\u2019s blog)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>After training was completed, the WOtW team visited two local health centers <em>(See Nyeko Richard Ssemujju\u2019s blog)<\/em>, enabling us to interact with the staff on the ground and their tremendous work. \u00a0I also had the opportunity to publish WOtW\u2019s organization,vision,mission, goals and objectives on the media!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We ended with a very fun closing dinner, with lots of games, fun and bye bye wishes followed the next day by a successful meeting to create our 2025 year plan, 2026 year plan and 3 to 5year plan.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, I am so grateful to WOtW for the great achievements we have accomplished together. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/divi:paragraph -->[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wellontheirway.org\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/celebrating-achievments-1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;celebrating-achievments-1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;font-style:italic;\t&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;font\t-style:italic;\t&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Closing dinner.
