Byimana

For the third week of our placement we spent the field days in Byimana. Its was lovely and i think one of the best communities that we have been to so far. Since we kept returning there we got to know the people and really felt a part of the community there. One our first meeting we meet with some women of a self help group that A.E.E. works with. We taught them all we knew of handling food and washing their hands as well before and after cooking, eating and everything else you can think off. The women we all willing to learn and my favourite even told me after that although she was told about washing her hands she never realised the risk she was putting herself and her families under by not always doing so. 

For our teaching, we would present to the women then separate off into smaller groups to talk about whether or not they were already doing these things at home and the impact they had if they wee

One major negative though about the day at was the fact that at one point i thought and believed that we were educating the ladies about the wrong/misunderstood . Some of the team told them that they should keep meet in water uncooked to kept the meat tfresh since . I have never heard of it but still i guess we are a team have 

Me and Irish Hubs presenting about illnesses.
