We taught two lessons each evening Monday through Thursday in Soard. Danielle taught about preventing dehydration and making oral rehydration solution; and preventing back and knee pain. Mischa taught about preventing contagious diseases through handwashing, getting enough sleep, etc. Jamie taught about preventing chronic diseases (high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes), do's and don'ts in pregnancy, women's health (contraception, STDs, and common women's health issues), the effects of alcohol and cigarettes. We prepared handouts for each topic and had them laminated--which was more than an easy task--and then gave the out during the week. The women were very appreciative of the topics we covered, asked really great questions, and were excited to learn. Estera nailed up one of the laminated handouts in her outhouse as a decoration!
Mischa teaching about first aid. Asia is translating for her.
The ladies practicing the Heimlic maneuver.
Cristina showing off the laminated handout for First Aid.
Rosa and Ana practicing bandaging a cut.
Jamie teaching regarding the effects of cigarettes on the body. Magda was helping with the lesson--very helpful for the occasional phrase that Jamie didn't know how to say!
