But this isn't about me getting lost or about shaming someone's bad drawing skills. Think how inefficient it is to manage a team who need to work in this place without a map to tell them where they need to go. Then, once they're in the right village, how can they collect some data and associate it to that place? Those community health workers know that needs in this region are high, particularly anemia and malnutrition among children.
