Teeth Brushing, Hand Washing... It´s a Miracle!






So it´s been a little over 4 months since I´ve been working with my schools. I have been lucky to have teachers who are easy to work with and who genuinely want to succeede in the Healthy Schools Project. The process during the past 4 months has been more or less getting to know the teachers and kids, presenting project responsibilities to the teachers, kids, and parents, getting the parents to buy a Utile de Limpieza for each child (small basin, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, and soap), getting the teachers to construct Rincones de Salud in their classrooms (areas of the classroom to store the Utiles), and getting the children to be more conscious of their own self-cleanliness. The kids are still dirty, but some progress is being made!
