      the community of mothers and children that have been involved in the study and many memebers of the villages that have not been involved in studies. It is partly about educating the communities so we hope this helps them understand more about health issues about how to feed babies properly and what to do if you have systems of diseases. The locals do a lot of drumming and eat a lot of food so everyone has fun and learns a lot!

      Two of my PhD students because they will be able to go to a scientific conference in Sheffield in September.

      What I will use the money for is to help fund an event that gets kids from underpriveleged local schools come to our University to learn about the research we do and how cool scientific research is (to hopefully stimulate them to keep studying science at school, and maybe even consider it as a future job). So, hopefully the students would benefit in the short term (by giving them a really enjoyable day) and long term (keeping them interested in science to help their studies).

      Everyone, because there will be a few more people in the world who really understand science. One day, one of them might be your doctor.

      local schools from longer running outreach programmes, and undergraduate studnets who would get to go to a research conference and see what research careers are like..
