Quick Paraguay Update! March was a busy month with school starting up again, helping out training the new group of health volunteers, and even my first music festival! I never thought I'd see groups like Fitz and the Tantrums, Alt-J, The Kooks, Foster the People, Bastille, Skrillex, etc in Paraguay of all places.
Our new sister G (the new group of health volunteers) arrived in country March 4th. As a part of their training, as it was a part of mine, trainees head out to visit current volunteers and live as we do for 4 days/3 nights. I actually have two mentees, but Aliza was who I hosted.
It was nice to have a visitor, and Aliza was able to help me kick off a dental health series in the local elementary schools. The kids were excited that I was back again this year and remembered a decent amount from the last school year about parasites, hand washing, and nutrition. Aliza was nice enough to take some pictures during the lectures.
Brush-em brush-em brush-em.
Expect an update early April about an upcoming Grassroots Soccer Camp! It's a series of soccer practices that tie in messages about HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness. I'll have half of the new trainee group visiting me to help out with that as well.
