Today, most of group participated in Day 1 of our Skills Training for our upcoming P.E.A.C.E trip to San Pedro Misiones, Argentina. We are all so blessed to have each other to lean on and to learn from one another. Today was on exception.
The day consisted of Dan and Darlene teaching us all about "Health and Hygiene." Several modules were taught. What are Germs? When to Wash Hands. Brushing your Teeth. Disease Transmission, and yes, we even had a live puppet show. Overall, it was a very interactive day where we all participated and had fun together.
One of the highlights of the day came from "Technology Lesson #1." Making a Tippy Tap. A Tippy Tap consist of a plastic jug, string, soap, a stick and water. You poke a few holes through the jug, thread the string through the jug, add the soap and use the stick for a foot pedal, hang each side to tree branches and viola, you have yourself an instant Tippy Tap. This tool is then used to demonstrate how to wash your hands. Our group learned how to make one and it worked!! No really, it did!
Shown here in the pictures are our two "tree stand-ins" Gaby (in black) and Cathy (one of team leaders in beige shorts). Cassandra (in blue) who shows us that it really works and actually washed her hands.
What a blessing it is to have learned what we all take for granted here and how wonderful it will be to teach the people of San Pedro Misiones what we've learned here today, all while teaching the Word of God.
