HBB Training Day 1 Monday March 23, 2015

Today we did our first training.  24 Traditional Birth Attendants were present.  Although a few were familiar with bag and mask ventilation, most were not at all familiar with the technique.  It was a great day of training at the Quang Tri Medical Center Clinic.  GCSF has done an amazing job putting this trip together and we are so grateful.
We were awakened by music coming from the school across the street.  It apparently calls the children to study and to school.

 Break time!









































Presentation of certificates and then a group picture. 








 
On the way home we stopped at the big bridge.  Such beautiful country.  Very mountainous and rough terrain.  I can't imagine fighting a war here.  We stopped for pictures on the way home.
 












 
We are all very tired after a fulfilling but tiring day.  We are packed and ready to go in the morning for Day 2.
