I asked Zach to get a little dirty today to help with the class and he went above and beyond. Thank you, Zach! He brough dirt and then water was added to it to make some real mud. Lisa and Manuel watching as Zach prepares.
The students were a big help today. Thank you!! Some helped with the class as others distributed the pills.
Some people from the local congregation came to help and offer their support during the class. They told me that they also enjoyed the class when we had finished.
"Dirty Zach" played the part well........he ate chips but as he was doing so, he dropped them on the floor and then at them! The students were not excited to shake his hands as he went into the crowd to greet them.Here, Juan is translating about washing your hands and preventing bacteria and illness.
There are 200 students in the school. We talked to half of the students while the others received the mediine. Then we traded groups and the other students went for their medicine.
When we were thanking the director of the shool, the students had already gone to the water spikot to wash their hands! The boy in the front was making sure his cuticles were clean!
As soon as we left the school, we went to Lemoa and started a Diabetes Class. Tomas spoke for a few minutes, we sang a song, prayed and then we began class. There were about 30 students to begin with and then a few more came.It was a very good class. It was the first class of a three class series. They had a lot of questions and participated well.
Thanks to everyone that helped today! Everyone had a special part. Thanks to Josefina, the promoters and to the students.
The students will shortly be going to the coast and the other group will be coming up here for their highland experience. Please pray for Lisa and Kemmel as they transport the students and that everyone has safe travel
