May 4, 2016 HBB and ECEB at Đa Krông Medical Center

Today we taught 30 participants - 15 midwives, 14 traditional birth attendants, and 1 community health worker.  Our 6 new instructors did the work from set up to clean up and they have it down! They are doing such a great job and we are so proud!

Our students are pretty amazing as well.  One woman hired a motor bike to drive her to class - 200 km one way!  She does not drive so needed to pay someone to bring her and take her home.  GSCF provides a stipend to pay for transportation costs for the women but still - that is a long way.

Our participants really get in to the class - when they are playing the role of the mother, they ask questions and when they are playing the role of the birth attendant they do teaching.  It is so much fun to watch and they seem to be having a great time, as you can see from the pictures.  Learning should be fun and you can see that it is in these classes.

Many of our participants are very experienced but no one has an attitude that they know it all.  They are all here to learn and have such positive attitudes about the entire day.  Refreshing.
