Maneaba in Temeiku Village

j 

Temeiku village health talk followed by a talk in Betio the next day; before we leave. Both sessions about three hours with interested
women listening and occasionally asking questions.

Pre School teacher training in 'healthy diet and nutrition for children' included a gift of a tooth brush and paste. Thank you to Hamilton Wesley Church for donations.
New volunteer Kim, assistant to the Pre School Co-ordinator, will continue the work of teaching children to brush teeth with the left over resources.

Thanks to the Victorian Quit Program for information and pamphlets. This is the outside of our office window right where many visitors smokers enter the board room.
20 smokers working for KPC signed up to help cut down or stop smoking. Very difficult to do with no access to nicotine patches and counsellors.
Two local people have the opportunity to do the training to be Quit Counsellors. I hope this happens soon to keep the momentum up.
