Meeting Expectations |
One of the things that I remember well from the last time I was in Elmina is the satisfaction after a good meeting. Sure, meetings are certainly full of cultural confusion which often means moments of awkwardness. But, overall, we all tend to agree with what needs to be taken care of and how. I usually learn quite a bit from these encounters and gain a new perspective, a new way to present our message; And certainly an extra spring to my step (which is especially obliging in this heat)!
Heart health, the reason we are here, is an easy message to share. It affects everyone – from children to seniors everywhere in the world! And everyone can do something to prevent it. It’s not a controversial health issue, and it’s so important. Thus, general reception of the issue is usually positive and supportive.
Today, Vince and I met with the Director of the District of Education for the KEEA Municipal. Though this was more of a formality than anything else, as we have been working with the PR officer since September 09, it was another satisfying meeting. He began by telling us that what he thinks we are doing is very good and explained why he thinks heart health is so important. To summarize, he expressed that “our heart runs our body - if our heart is not healthy, our body is not healthy. This is a problem that affects every human so it is a problem that is important to talk about. It is good to teach youth, the innocent, so they learn early”.
If I could record every meeting, we would have our package for the community. Most people we talk to understand the importance of cardiovascular health, can earnestly express the bigger picture and are eager to learn how to put it into practice. This puts us in a great position to move forward with the projects we have been working on and share ways to practice heart health.
ICHA will be hosting an all-day teacher workshop next week that, in collaboration with the District of Education, we have invited all Science, P.E., and Home-Ec teachers from the three public high schools. Along with guest lecturers from the clinic and the community, we will be presenting a heart health program to incorporate into the science curriculum. The week following the workshop, Vince and I will be leading interactive assemblies at the three high schools to engage students in the discussion of taking care of their hearts and their bodies. We will invite the students to initiate a Heart Health Club at their school, with hopes they will continue to participate in this discussion, at school and in their community, long after ICHA has left Elmina.
All the pieces are falling into place. Everyone we have worked with here in Elmina has been so accommodating and I think are as eager as we are for this project to lift off. We have great expectations!
