Our students started the week with presentations to
Dangriga Community Health Workers. CHW identified that hand washing to prevent
disease, feminine hygiene, general nutrition, childhood illness identification
and prevention, were areas that required e
ngaging teaching techniques that could easily be brought into their communities.
Of course, the training ended in a hog call!
Students also made house calls with the local Palliative
Health Team (similar to Hospice) which
provided the unique opportunity for students to enter Belizean homes, meet and
talk with families, gaining firsthand knowledge regarding the effects of
healthcare systems and policy in Dangriga.
These visits also ended in a hog call.
