It poured down rain last night, so the first thing when we got to the camp is to tear down the broken community tent, so that we can set up the distribution area. The local volunteers were hard at work in finding out ways to tear it down safely!
7 volunteers with two bamboos and 30 minutes later....we have a fresh new distribution area for today's event!
Unloading all the Hygiene Kits from the trucks! The total Hygiene Kits includes: Hygiene bucket with various hygiene products, Jerrycans, heavy blankets and plastic tarps.
Thanks to all the local volunteers for helping unload and sort each of the items. Each event is always a success greatly due to their efforts!
Part of our Hygiene Kits distribution today includes hygiene education, as well. It is super important to have the free clinics to treat the patients who are suffering and even more important to promote preventive care in our health education program, where people can learn how to prevent the serious illnesses from happening in the first place. Thanks to Dr. Richita for her awesome hygiene education on the six steps of proper hand-washing methods! Our local volunteers were first trained and now today it is their big show to teach to all the residents that we are distributing to. So proud of each of them! Look at their hand-washing skills??? They are pros!!!
Everyone was listening very attentively to Dr. Richita and along with the actual demonstration by Dr. Nirdesh and all our trained local volunteers within each small group of residents! It worked out really well! People were really taking their hands out and doing all 6 steps with us! What a great sight to see!
My Pineapple being interviewed after the hygiene education class. He is one of the dedicated Maheswori youth volunteers! He has been with us from the very beginning! He is one of the seeds here in Nepal! So proud of him and seeing how far he has come since day 1! Go Go Go Pineapple!
It is FREE CLINIC time! Our local medical volunteers hard at work at the BP/VITALS station! So proud to have them on our medical team! The free clinic would not be functional without their dedication and hard work each and every time! So grateful for all of you! This is Shreejana, she will be a full fledged health assistant in three months time!!! Can't wait to see her get her diploma! You go girl! So proud of you my dear!
Dr. Nirdesh seeing a patient! Thanks so much to our TIMA Nepal core members for making this free clinic happen! And a giant thank you to all our tzu chi volunteers, local volunteers, and local medical volunteers! It is so great to see everyone coming together for the betterment of others!
The children at Maheswori is always happy to see Tzu Chi coming in our vans! They have gotten used to the idea of having blue medical clinic tents there! They always love to play with the poles while the clinic is going on! The smiles on these children's face are just so precious!
It really doesn't take much to be happy in life! For them, at that moment, was that tent pole; and for me, at the moment, was seeing their smiling faces! That was all it took!
BE HAPPY WORLD! LIFE IS PRECIOUS!
children are always inspiring you by their smiling faces, a very simple but precious happiness!
