We started off yesterday with more small group presentations per Dr. Buie’s assignment the night before. They covered all sorts of abdominal pain including appendicitis, ulcers, gallstones, urinary tract infections, and ectopic pregnancy. Dr. Buie also taught on one of the more
important subject of T.B. We were surprised at the high numbers of TB the students are reporting. Of the 24 students 5 of them reported TB in their family and 22 had TB in their village.
Gayle Buie used very creative and fun ways to teach about nutrition. She used yarn to show how long the intestines were and made peanut butter and banana sandwiches to talk about food groups. This was a tasty idea and for most of the students their first peanut butter and banana sandwich.
Gayle also used a sock with a tennis ball in it to
show how food moves through the intestines. The students really enjoy and get a lot out of the hands on activities.
