HYGIENE SEMINAR

Serge hosted a hygiene seminar this past weekend in the village of Sanson. You might remember Sanson from our second well project; it is a rural village outside of the city of Parakou. It was held at a school and 103 highschoolers were in attendance, which is amazing. Serge talked about health issues, hygiene, ie washing hands, and began talking about STD's. This is the first of several seminars that we plan to host. Some of the issues that are blocking progression in these villages have simple solutions that require little money,but much education, so we plan on educating the up and coming generations, to create a shift in their thinking, so that progression can move forward. When you couple this type of education with clean water and their new well, disease and common maladies will begin to lessen.
