Someone asked me what training is like, so I thought I'd share a bit of it with you.
As community health workers we are trained on a variety of topics. Including but not limited to:
Hand washing
Oral hygiene
Non communicable diseases (diabetes-sik sugar, high blood pressure, eye health, etc..)
Communicable diseases
STI; Sexually Transmitted Infections
Water and sanitation
Healthy food choices
Food safety

On top of technical training we also have language training. For Vanuatu that is Bislama. We also go through cultural training every week. I will be writing a few posts on cultural experiences I have had, like the one I started on visiting a family who had a death. I will also be sharing some Bislama posts.
Training is coming to an end for G27 and it has been a challenging time for us all BUT we have all grown so much since the first night we met in LA; not only as individuals but also as a group.
Until next time
