Just to keep you belatedly updated here are some of the
activities I’ve been doing with my health post.
The health post tried to represent during Día de la Mujer
(March 8th, International Women’s Day) but they were mildly outshone by the
health post from Chucos. Please note the
placement of the letters on the banner (my work) and also note the facial
expressions—Peruvians, as a rule, don’t smile in pictures. Only way you could tell that I’m not
Peruvian.
Every month at the very least the health post has a parade
through town to promote awareness about some issue or another. They take about three grades out of school
from the primaria in order to have them shout out phrases. I have certain
opinions on the effectiveness and usefulness of these activities that I will
keep to myself. This month it was
vaccines. Note once again the placement
of the letters on the banner (once again my work). One day I’ll take a picture of a banner not
designed by me so that you can fully appreciate the spacing of the letters.
Every month, the health post staff is required to do
sesiones demostrativas in the caserios of Huantar. The actually utility of these sessions is
debatable, but excitingly, this time one of the dads participated. This never
happens. I think it was due in large
part to the fact that the male doctor was participating and he peer pressured
the fathers pretty hard until one of them joined in.
Besos!
