Pictures from the First Independent Training!

We were lucky enough to be sent some photos of the first independent training done by three wonderful trainers, Alinda, Henrietta, and Samira, from our month in Liberia.  This section included the first 4 days of the longer training and excluded the training of trainers component and the community dialogue, which allowed the program to be compressed into a single all-day training.  The participants were reportedly very engaged, asking great questions throughout.

It looks like everyone had a good time and we are thrilled to see the enthusiasm to help laboring mothers in the health center keep up momentum. One of the participants reported that she was initially not excited to be asked to attend this training as it was her day off, but she ended up enjoying the experience and realized how important this work really is.  There is even talk of integrating some components of this program into the nursing school curriculum after a nurse held an in-service this past Tuesday to demonstrate some new skills.  Way to go Ganta Hospital!
