This class is taught in one of the shelters that just needs some last touches before the refugee family moves in. The teacher has become a good friend of mine. She is about my age, bilingual, and is in med-school to be a surgeon. Quite the modern Afghan lady, yet still holds traditions, ie., asks her father before coming to our place for lunch, wears a burka in public.
The class is going quite well. Many women thank us for coming. We go to all the villages where we have built shelters and then teach health and hygiene classes. We teach about personal hygiene,basic sanitation,Pre-Intra-Postnatal care, diseses, and nutrition, to sum it up.
(the women hide even though I had their and their husbands permission to take photo's for modesty, honor, shyness, ect.)
