It has been a crazy couple of days here. We are in a mad dash to the finish but somehow we are getting things done. Last night I got class pictures developed for everyone, and bulb syringes for the class. Today, I went to two different malls to find the waterproof bags we need for each of the barefoot doctors and I cleaned them both out of the size we needed. Rita picked up and delivered 15 tetanus vaccines for the Barefoot Drs who have never been vaccinated. The students practiced injections with the above and also on some defenseless oranges. Sarep Pung finished the field paperwork booklets for the students complete with coding tables and medication formulas for different age groups etc. The Teaching Drs. finished up on the curriculum. They also quizzed the students on diseases and drugs as well as organized our supplies to make up the medical kits the students will go home with.
In addition, we started off the day early with a hike up the hill behind the training center before class. Abraham and Thinbey guided Vegas, Lauren, Elise, and me through the woods to the top of the mountain overlooking the training center but Bjorn stayed back to get the students started off in the classroom. After class we all went out to a great “cultural dinner” with a show of traditional dancing and music. It was really quite amazing!
Tomorrow we will wrap up the program by issuing the students the final items and reviewing everything they have learned. After class, of course, there will be a closing celebration dinner at the training center. This will likely involve some speeches and some tribal dancing as well as gift giving. I will get some pictures up when I have more time. For now I have to get some sleep. Thanks for your prayers and support!
