Narrative
Everything went well in the project, although we did have some slight problems with a few families. One woman tried to build her latrine with a different design, and staff felt it would not be sanitary in the way she had proposed. They tried to convince her to change, but the woman got upset and asked (not politely) the staff to take the materials back. Also, several husbands, once they saw the metallic superstructure, decided they did not want to continue with the project and refused to complete the latrines, saying they were "too hot". Unfortunately, the wives attended the meeting and were in agreement with all of the aspects of the project, but the men still have a lot of power and did not allow the women to complete their latrines.
