Village Health Talks

Over the nearly three hours of talking women and children would come and go according to their needs. This group stayed for the full length of the program while we talked about reproduction, pregnancy, hygiene products, specific children's illnesses and diabetes. The older women in the middle was the spokesperson, being the eldest, so I will have to be more creative in involving the others in questions and comments next time. It is not the custom here to be outspoken when an older woman is present.

Who could not enjoy working with such wonderful families?.This happy mother was awaiting our arrival to discuss her babies scalp problem.
The teddy was given at the end of the session during which time it had been used squashed up in the foetal position to demonstrate how a baby travels through the birth canal prior to birth. Even those who already had children were fascinated as they had not had access to this information prior to the birth of their children.
