Tuesday, Late Afternoon

Yesterday was exhilirating!
We began our first in a series of five days with the 14 Community Health Worker trainees.
After another fun icebreaker where the group tied ourselves in knots and then carefully untied the jumble, the true work began. I was so impressed with the collaborative nature of the learning process. Members of our team presented information on topics such as the roles and qualities of the CHW, an overview of microbiology, vectors involved in the spread of disease, and malaria. I did an evening presentation on mental health. The format included lecture, discussion, hands on, interactive games, and role play. Everyone in the room was engaged and participatory. It was an extremely rich experience. We are all learning so much from each other. The mutual respect is palpable.
