01.22.15 Breast health teaching in Gagil

Will post more pictures of Ulithi later.
Today Aileen from the Cancer Program and I went to Gagil to meet with the local women to discuss breast health awareness. Dr. Petra Tun is the doctor of the clinic and she is an excellent physician. I really do like her. And no doubt her patients adore her for her dedication and expertise.

After the talk we had local food the women prepared. It was another feast. When I left I teasingly told her we would be back next week. The food was that good.

Here are a few pictures of the lecture - Aileen has been trained to give my lectures, but she did the introduction today and I gave the talk as she had a cold.

We give all sessions a pretest then a posttest. It is a good measure of what they have comprehended during the presentation.
