Health Fair

As a part of our training we were asked to have a community project. The trainees in my villages decided to have a Community Health Fair. There were 3 stations: Self Defense, Frisbee, and Hand washing with healthy snacks. I will give you one guess as to which station was my contribution to the fair... haha yes the hand washing with snacks!

I had gone to the market and bought two tubs for a hand washing station, that the kids would stop at to wash their hands before they were allowed to get a snack because "It is important to wash your hands before eating". The kids were great sports and all washed their hands, even the Peace Corps staff washed their hands before they got their snacks!

It went really well. We had the fair at the school and over 100 children from the community came. For the rest of our stay in the village we saw children practicing self defense moves on each other and playing Frisbee.
