July Trip 2010

Hey Everyone,

We just got back from Mizak and held education classes for the health care workers. We taught nutrition, birthing, dehydration, dental hygiene, and first aide. I think they really enjoyed it. One of the exciting parts was an interpreter we had all week is the principal of Mizak School. I am hoping that some of the health care workers can take what they learned and share it with the children in school.

I am so proud of them. They are making Mizak a healthier place to live. I believe in them and over time, Mizak will feel the impact of these health care workers.

Teaching Health Care Workers

Indiana Team is going to make a blinder for the clinic of what we taught, so they can review. (kind of like a policies and procedure manual) We will have it in English and Creole.
