THE GOOD, BAD AND UGLY....

The NCD team and Reproductive Health Team are training 15 new Community Health Workers this week at Viseisei.  Dr. Tukana came and spoke on wellness.  Joe gave a talk today on THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY in regards to fats in our diet.  It was great! (OK, I'm a bit prejudiced!)
  .Dr. Swaran and Dr. Rajat continue to teach and empower us all.  We are thankful to be a part of it all
   The NCD team talked today on Nutrition, Diabetes, Heart Attacks, Coronary Artery Disease.  Tomorrow the Reproductive Health team will speak on SEX!!!!!!  The Community Health Workers will go back to their villages and settlements and help in promoting wellness, healthy lifestyle choices, and education.  Will this help in decreasing non-communicable diseases in Fiji????

I think he looks like Sean Connery now......

It has taken us awhile to appreciate the natural, unmanicured beauty of Fiji, understand the culture a bit and enjoy life here.  But we do.  We can see why Peace Corps requires a two year commitment. We are slowly becoming part of a community, developing relationships and "seeing" Fiji.  It is a great experience!
