Cross-Sector Work : health and education

No matter the sector, a PCV is always encouraged to develop community actions that address the linkages among the various sector goals and focuses. With Health and Education, for example, you come to see clearly how one is not possible without the other -- i.e., without attention to improving the literacy and learning of the community, it is difficult to help people to even focus on community health improvement issues, nevermind seeing the importance of small behavior changes for increasing family and public health.

An informed, educated population is far more likely to adopt healthy behavior change, especially while they're still young.

It's difficult to create such a population when the local schools (and local infrastructure in general) lacks access to information, to adequate basic teaching materials... to books.
