Raising Healthy Children Workshop
This past Monday, OR&R hosted our very first “Raising Healthy Children” workshop for orphanage directors and caretakers. It was encouraging to have 25 participants who were excited to learn. The one day workshop covered a wide variety of topics, including: germs, hand washing, hygiene, malaria, ringworm, scabies, dehydration, first aid and nutrition.
The workshop’s theme verse was Proverbs 22:6, which says, “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it”. We wanted to encourage and challenge the directors and caretakers to really invest in the lives of the children that they are caring for. It is so important that these children learn good living habits, but we also want them to learn good values and be productive citizens in the future. We want to see the children healthy—physically, mentally and spiritually.
After putting so much time and effort into preparing for the workshop, it was exciting to see the directors and caretakers really paying attention and learning the material. Debbie and I both agree that we could see light bulbs going off in heads all over the room.
After a full day of teaching, learning and sharing, each participant was presented with a certificate. Because it was our first workshop, we learned a lot about planning and teaching the material. We look forward to hosting more workshops in the future to better equip orphanage directors and caretakers to raise healthy children.-784123.jpg)
