Hi Suzanne and Mimi
I think this is a great initiative. I agree keep it short colourful and current to occurring events and context.

Dear Suzanne,
Greetings from India!
Apologies for the delay in coming back on the newsletter.
The newsletter is indeed colourful and also informative yet crisp. I had passed it onto our HP specialists and trainers and have collated the inputs here.
· This is a good initiative for information exchange and knowledge sharing. The three areas "Research, Training and Advocacy" could also be complemented with one section on "Practice." All these four areas of information need to get significant space, gradually, in the newsletter in case one wants to consider more than 2 pages.
· The newsletter could begin with an editorial section which can explain significant content given in the issue and also can take reader through various emergencies and achievements/interventions on Hygiene Promotion.
· The idea of giving good practices (e.g. How do you ensure children wash their hands properly? on page number one; and Menstrual hygiene brief guide for girls on page number two) on the left side of the pages is good in terms of giving quick insights to the practitioners. The same section can also provide the web link to the readers if they wish to know and learn more about these good practices.
· The idea of giving information about available resources for the use in emergencies (e.g.Cholera guides) is also significant. This section also can provide web link to the readers.
· One more section of readers thoughts/comments also can be added when the circulation expands.
Further to Libertad’s comments on Upcoming Training Courses in HP, we will be happy to share our training calendar and announcements of the same. I will send a separate mail on the same shortly.
Hope this finds you all well and best wishes for 2012!
Best Regards,
Tanaji Sen
