If you have been following us on Twitter you might have seen our posts about one of our members who is currently in Indonesia with Save the Children. Stacey Weckstein has been traveling with Save the Children’s Every Beat Matters team in Indonesia to document the importance of frontline health workers on the health and wellbeing of women and children. Her photos and posts are truth-telling. This week Stacey is sharing what she is witnessing in her meetings with health workers and is also posting slice-of-life details about everyday goings-on in Indonesia.
We would love for you to follow Stacey’s journey at #IDNKids. Here is some of her work thus far.
