Hello, We have just finished day 2 of the second set of workshops. Today was teaching the skills of drawing blood and starting IV's using the 2 pieces of equipment I brought for this, a venipuncture board and the "arm". We ended the day with realistic situations (scenario's) that three participants at a time had to do, using their new skills. All in all it went very well. I'll attach some photos. Ralph has been getting along well with the dancing, some of the students are really shy, and watch their classmates have fun.
After work we went with our apartment mate, Freya (a young woman from Scotland) and Barbara (the director of nursing) to the tailor to get some things made up. It will be fun to see what these fellows can do with a bit of fabric.
We've been asked to come to a local hospital to do a workshop for hospital staff, when I asked how many would attend, I was told maybe 20 or 40 or 60. It's to be a moving and handling workshop, so it should be interesting. Anna, Rakesh, Ralph and I will do it on the 19th. Tomorrow we have our final day of formal workshops at the college, then on the 16th we'll go up to the tea growing region of Bangladesh. The tea here is wonderful, Marj and Carolyn would love it! I think my Dad (Ron) and Mom (Jean) would have enjoyed the river trip, seeing life along the way. Thinking of all of you!

And you think you've seen traffic, can you count the rickshaw's?

You certainly are kept busy....would love to be at your workshop! Everything is fine here and we are getting great weather...so easy for getting around. Take Care! Although it sounds as though you are well looked after....
ReplyDeleteLooks great. In Laval with a few that were asking if I was following your blog. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteBangladesh is not for the weak of heart, it's quite an developing country, full of contrasts, but the people we have gotten to know are so kind, curious and caring. What a wonderful experience. Tomorrow we are going up north to the tea-growing area of Bangladesh, it should be interesting. Thanks for the note.
