2nd day of Pacific Islander Festival

Today we went around the park passing out Health Surveys for pacific islanders to take. This was a good experience and practice for me because when we start the survey part in our 1akwe Project, we know what to say and how to go about asking people to take surveys. It's important that you know what you are passing out because not everyone know the importance of health surveys. We probably collected over 50+ surveys and majority of them were taken by the marshallese community which was a good thing because we've started to build trust and a relationship with them. Trust is most important because its the only way to get people to speak out and make our data collecting and health project easy and go smoothly. After the surveys, we sat down at the booth and passed out health information and talked about the importance of maintaining a good health to people who stopped by.
