We began our day at Lemoa with an educational day for our guys. Lisa and I presented classes on diarrhea and dehydration.
Lisa began the day with asking the guys what diarrhea was and it was not the easiest question for them to answer. They did very well.....learning a lot and asking good questions. The materials that we used are using are from the CHE seminars that we have attended. It is based on class participation and learning through role playing and dramas. It will prepare them to eventually provide more education in their communities.
Here I am showing how two flowers that have received the same care are so different when one has suffered from dehydration. Lisa made a oral rehydration solution and then we were able to taste it. The CHE materials are very basic and something that the promoters can continue to teach in their communities.
While we were having our class, Kemmel was taking care of other things that needed to be done. He started cutting the grass with the weed-eater. Later he worked on the auto-clave........while he was making sure the washing machine was being repaired...............
Gaspar wanted to try using the new toy.
Then Juan got his turn.
Lisa and Kemmel invited me over for dinner and it was wonderful!! We had BBQ, biscuits, potato salad, vegetables and rice crispy treats! That is an ALL-AMERICAN MEAL!
It was a good day............we need to be very thankful for what we have and not to take things for granted. It is easy to fall in the trap of wanting more and expecting more each day. We are not promised tomorrow. Tomorrow might not come. Let us be thankful for today.
