Day 3 - Daycare Training

Today was a busy and exciting day!  Joyce and Erin spent the morning training the Daycare Nannies in Infant/Toddler CPR, First Aid and Heimlich.  They did such a great job!















































The Nannies were so receptive and did such a great job.  Such simple education that can save lives.

Even our interpreter, Zidor ("Z") got in on it and added some dramatic flare!  He is a new Papa of a 3 1/2 month baby boy - so he appreciated the training too!  Z has been a GREAT help once again and so fun to be around.

After the lessons were over we let them ask questions and it led to some neat conversations.  The Nannies are so excited about the new Daycare program as they are already seeing a big improvement with the children.  

I asked them what their biggest difficulty had been so far and they said they really hadn't had any.  Except the babies crying in the beginning when they get dropped off.  And then yesterday - I interviewed all the parents, and took family pictures for the AP Blog. Then they went back to work.  So - I disrupted everything.  We were laughing about that but we talked about how that was so good!  They don't cry so much when they get dropped off anymore and they know the routine that when their moms come - they get to go home.  So it was normal for them to be confused by that yesterday.  Also - you see the attachment to the moms.  Such great stuff!

After lunch, we met up with Marc for a tour of the facilities.  











































At the end - Joyce and Erin got to learn how to roll cereal box beads!























It's much harder than it looks!  They did great - but don't quit your Daycare jobs any time soon, guys!


Marilyn comes in tomorrow and more adventures continue.  Keziah, Shelley's daughter, is down with Chikungunya.  Please continue to pray - 

Until tomorrow.........
