One More Post Before I Leave Thailand

We just finished up the CHE training a few minutes ago by handing out certificates to the students.  They were very pleased to receive them, and they said this training opened their minds to many new things.  Here are some pictures of them receiving the certificates from Rick Astone and David Crist.

After the short certificate ceremony we wrapped things up by encouraging the students to implement some of the things they learned when they go home.  David promised to drop off additional lesson materials in Burmese for them to use. We also talked about using some of the CHE learning methods as we continue the medical training.  The students were encouraged to keep practicing what they have learned this week.
At the end we had a prayer circle and asked for God's blessing upon these fine young people as they continue their studies at the Barefoot Doctor School.   Then I asked Rick to snap some pictures of me with all of the students individually, and here are some of those shots. 

It is going to be very difficult to say goodbye to these students knowing that I may not see them again until their graduation in March of 2016, if then.  May the Lord watch over them here and back in Burma!  Jon
