Hello my name is "Anzoa" Madelene Kajusa and Welcome to The Regional Geography of South Sudan Grade 5. This course was part of my directed studies research at TRU (Thompson Rivers University) in Kamloops BC, Canada. With the supervision of Professor Dr. Tom Waldichuk, I created this course. I am very proud of the work that I have done here. It was nice being able to introduce the Ma'di people of South Sudan to academia. There is a lack of education being taught about South Sudan in the Canadian school system. There is a huge population of South Sudanese people in Canada. Having this course will let our voices be heard and be represented in a positive light. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Kajusamadelene@gmail.com

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"These simple tools are transforming how children are treated for acute malnutrition. Designed for people with low literacy, these tools have the potential to help community health workers treat children with severe acute malnutrition close to home, in areas around the world where the nearest health facility is hours away. Malnutrition is the single biggest threat to public health according to the World Health Organization. Globally, it contributes to 45% of deaths of children under 5. Treatment for the most severe cases was, until recently, only available at a hospital as around-the-clock care—which is virtually impossible in many low-income countries. With the development of ready-to-use therapeutic foods, this treatment became available in outpatient programs at lower-level facilities, requiring weekly visits for up to 2-4 months. While this outpatient treatment model has been scaled up to over 60 countries with a high burden of malnutrition, it hasn’t reached every community where it’s needed..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
