ACSI-Jutiapa: Sonia's Kickoff to 2023

 


PSSS...Psss..psss..Hey Jimmy, you ever know anyone in Agua Dulce who needs a baleada and some free health knowledge?

Oh yeah, I know a lady who attended AHMEN's initial ACSI in Jutiapa in 2013.  She has worked with mission teams as a liaison for years because she has been a liasion for her community for years.  Sonia mainly works with women and children.


Sonia gathered her students and facilitated a community cleanup with the older children.








As the children raked the streets and gathered trash, Sonia taught the moms about coronavirus.






After the lessons and community service project, Sonia served a delectable lunch.



The adults stuck around after lunch for a more formal coronavirus presentation.

What a fine example of the replication process.  When Sonia graduated from AHMEN's Community Empowerment Program she took on the roll of community health advocate.  She began a campaign of sharing health information with her community, and here we are!

If you would like to come teach with Sonia in Agua Dulce, drop me a line.  If you want to donate to her efforts, visit facebook.com/ahmeninhonduras.

Sonia's is just one of multiple aspects of the ongoing sustainable education efforts AHMEN's volunteership supports.  Tune in for a Rio de Agua Viva team update!

Together, we are the difference.
