Health Seminar in Kalubian

This week we had another of our monthly health clinics in Kalubian. This one was with a difference in that friends of ours working with the Elim Pentecostal church had a visitor from the UK who is training to be a nurse and is on placement with them. She (Ashley) offered to do a health seminar for us - covering the basics - cleanliness, personal hygene, waste disposal etc. I was keen, but I was not sure how the community would respond. As it happened I needn’t of worried. We put up fliers during the week, and the offer of food helped to coax some of the stragglers to join us.

 

A pleasant surprise was that we had some of the men join us - who throughly enjoyed themselves, a number of whom have also been attending our Sunday services. The nurses treated the usual burns, infected wounds, skin infections etc, and of course we had the childrens work with Bible sheets and songs that run alongside.
