Group 4 presented on their community entry to Aamusted Canteen. They met with the leader, Maa Peace, and learned that the canteen has been occupied by 13 food vendors for over 26 years. They identified key health stakeholders in the municipality and university. Some challenges included vendors' initial hesitation to speak and limited space for the large group. They overcame these by showing student IDs, waiting patiently, and splitting into smaller groups.
