1º Charla de Salud

Yesterday we held the first of what I hope to be many "charlas de salud" (or health chats) for the women involved in Peru Missions microfinance ministry-Sinergia. There were at least 40 women all crowded into Sinergia's office space (and out the door) watching and listening as our Obstetriz, Sonia spoke about womens health and other..ahhgm, hygiene issues. I was amazed that not only did these women take time out of their day to come but they listened attentively and had lots of questions. I am really looking forward to more of these and enjoyed the opportunity to participate in something that will directly impact the health and lives of these women.
