Notes
Maria and Irene went to Nawampiti to continue teaching about family planning, The VHT thanked the members for their continuous turn up and he encouraged them to come again. Agnes opened with a word of prayer after Maria was invited to speak to the members. Maria thanked all members for coming and she made recap of the previous lesson and then invited Irene to say a word to the members. Irene thanked everyone for coming then introduced the topic as family planning, the discussion stated by making a demonstration of the different types of family planning, giving a detailed information on the different types of artificial and natural family planning methods. Sarah shared how the injector plan is given and the period it takes. Then Irene gave detailed and clear information on the injector plan and then she explained the self injection method to the members. Irene then encouraged all members to discuss and decide on a method of family planning as a couple, encouraging men to support their spouses in seeking family planning, discouraging women from get it in secret for this has caused a lot of fights between a man and a woman. Waiswa also pinned women who use the artificial family planning methods refusing their husbands sex saying that they do not have feelings or appetite for sex. Sex starts with the mind so aroma has to fully prepare for it,some women since it’s their first time the worry to conceive especially if the method didn’t work worries them but as time goes by their bodies get used and they have a relaxed mind so there always no worries for sex,said Irene. Still Irene said that the natural family planning methods are safe up to 10% because there so many factors that change our bodies to react differently so one may think they are safe yet they are not , so it’s always good to get a backup in case one is not sure of their cycle.Still the artificial though they are 95% favorable,one should consider some of the things like the place where they are getting the method from,health provider’ knowledge one the method, duration, storage,among others. That’s why one is always advised to go to a Government hospital with at least qualified staff to get the services further still Irene said these services are passed over social media, VHTs also move information on when the service is to be offered as out reach so members should always take note of the best service. Then Namukose wanted to know which is the best artificial family planning,Irene advised that all methods are good provided one has detailed information about the method they are to use ,though the artificial methods would be the best because once used have less worries and risks since most of the women in the villages stay with their husbands most of the time. Then the staffs taught them a saying, “ go together and know together” this was an encouragement given to members. Irene promised the members to make a detailed explanation when she comes with the demonstration materials. The chairperson Kibo gave his remarks as he closed the meeting with a word of prayer.
