- Notes
- Irene went to maliga to make a review of the previous lessons and introduce a new lesson.
Irene started by asking the members her name,program and then asked the members to mention the lessons that they have covered. Naikoba said she was musawo meaning health worker and the program was health. Irene re-introduced herself again and the name of the program then asked the members the lessons covered before they go ahead. Nabirye said we have learnt how to keep our bodies ,homes, and environment clean, kyozira said we learnt about eating well meaning a balanced diet,and the members mentioned many more lessons.
Irene was impressed with the community members and this helped the new members to know the part of health that Irene is dealing with. Irene then asked the members to demonstrate some lessons as explained during the previous lessons as a reminder of what they should do, after the demonstration Irene requested the members if they have visited the hospitals after the lessons, majority had gone to the hospital and had themselves treated for the rightful diseases. Nairuba said she had an infection that had taken so many months without healing but after her visit to the hospital she has since gotten better.
Irene had to make a review of some areas in the lessons that were not well understood and to encourage the members to ask questions as related to their health. With that discussion Irene asked the members to prepare for the next Lesson on the next visit .
