We visited the same community from yesterday and opened the services to the members of the community that couldn't come the day before. It was overcast and drizzling and so the turnout was not as expected but there were some that were still able to take advantage of the services. (Dental, doctor visit, hemaglobin, etc.) Because there were fewer people visiting, the group of us that assisted here were able to interact more with the students at the school that was hosting the "Charity Anywhere Foundation." Anna did hemoglobin, Mandy did blood pressure, Chelsea played with the babies, and Matt and Mike directed traffic and played with children. They really enjoyed playing Ecua-volley.
Melina, James, Mckenna, Chelsea, Brittney, and Sarah taught the children at two different schools about nutrition, hand-washing, and teeth-brushing. They played a few games to help the children stay entertained, such as fruit basket and head-shoulders-knees-and-toes. At one of these schools, fluoride treatments for the children were administered by the dentist and his assistants.
Rebekah, Liz, Greg, Charity, Paige, and Jakarelly went to the bigger school from yesterday to teach first aid and nutrition to the 9th, 10th and 6th graders. A doctor came along to give the students antiparasites and a dentist came to do fluoride treatments here as well. The students gave all us of us roses after our presenation and thanked us for teaching them. The group had a great time teaching, assisting with the treatments and interacting with the students.
Once our group was reunited we ate lunch and started playing games. We started off playing volleyball but the soccer ball we were using was hurting our arms :/ So Jakarelly taught us how to play "Prisoner," on the volleyball court. Everyone got way into it and we were joined by some of the doctors, dentists and people of the community.
Rally in pain after hitting the ball; at least it made it over the net!
Charity was a big hit with her balloon art skills!
Susie and Shelly found what they want for Christmas!
