Hyjinks on the last days of Classes

With all the topics covered and still a bit of time up our sleeves, Nicola decided that she, Judy and I should put on a small play for the students. 

We hammed it up big-time, acting out a scenario demonstrating appalling hygiene practices. Here's me pretending to have a leg wound which Judy cleaned up in a very perfunctory manner and left the 'bloody' cloth on the table where she and Nicola were acting out preparing food for a fundraiser for the Aid Post. They put liquid glitter on their hands and were shaking all the students' hands, welcoming them to the fundraiser.

I reappeared a bit later as the Zone Nurse come to visit the VHW and pointed out all their dreadful mistakes. I also checked the students' hands and found glitter on some of them, indicating 'germs'.

The students thought it was hilarious!

We also completed preparing the booklets that the students need to take with them on their practicum at the clinics so they can record all the different tasks that they may, or may not, get experience at dealing with. It all depends on the problems that the patients arrive with.

This is Estelline, one of our students, helping out with the stapling, and Judy in the background.

We taped over the staples, 

and the students were very impressed with their professional-looking booklets 😁 They are away for 2 weeks now, returning for graduation on the 10th July. Still plenty of work next week for Judy, Nicola and me to complete a report to MoH, tidy up and store all the equipment, and prepare for graduation.
