    Workshops

    I just spent the past couple of weeks attending to Peace Corps workshops in Siguatepeque and in Tegucigalpa. The first was for midwives and emergency obstretrics, where we basically trained community health workers how to recognize signs of danger during pregnancy and reanimation techniques for new borns. I am hoping to take the information back to Cabañas and do a similar workshop for the midwives there. In Teguc I helped with a Men´s Health and HIV/AIDS meeting by... playing the guitar. All I actually did was play a few songs at the beginning of the meeting as "an interesting way to start a meeting." (NOT my idea, by the way.) But the workshop was a great way to introduce leaders of NGOs in Teguc to Peace Corps´nonformal education methodology for teaching men about HIV/AIDS...

    Pooky, what is reanimation of newborns? Is that like redrawing their caricature if you don't get it right the first time?

    Yes, that is exactly it. You are so smart! Do you have a PhD?
