Christ UMC, Jasper‘s July ’08
team
This team was made up of 12 people. The team worked with the local doctor
and his intern during the morning. We help clinic both on the large island
and some neighboring keys. We worked with the local doctors, rather than
on our own. WE have found this much more beneficial over the long team.
In addition, in the afternoons, we were invited to the local schools and
did educational power point presentations followed by open discussions
in small groups. We covered such topics as AIDS, pregnancy prevention,
how to have a healthy pregnancy, how to raise a healthy child, and personal
hygiene. The presentations were made by both the medical personnel and
the youth of our team.
We also made contact with the Methodist Pastor on the Island.
We have been asked to return next year and spend more time with the educational
aspect, teaching both the students and the teachers. In addition, they
have several school construction projects needed and would like to have
a joint evangelism program with the local pastors. |
