Rural Community Health Day

This day we traveled some distance from Maua to two rural schools to give all the students and teachers deworming tablets.  Visiting the schools is always so joyful. These children value so much the opportunity to be in school.  We dewormed over 600 children and this will help them with their general health and nutrition.  Also lessons were given on good hygeine and handwashing.

We helped the hospital Community Health Department staff set up and run a rural health cllnic in which over 240 patients were seen.
Tomorrow we will be leaving Maua (and our wifi connection) and will be at the BioIntensive Agricultural Training Center hosting 10 orphans.   They will learn skills that will help them grow food to sustain their families and produce income.  We will not be able to post any more information on the blogsite until Wednesday.
