The Health Seminar, led by Couples Celso & Raquel R.N. with daughters Racel & Tin (both nurses), aimed at teaching basic & practical steps of having a healthy body. This was also seen as a help in preventing Malaria in ways the community of Linao could practically do. One very helpful thing was how the team, taught alternatives for tootbrush and toothpaste. I never knew that the end of a guava stalk, when pressed, could be an alternative for toothbrush if in case the ones we gave out during the seminar wore out. They also explained how to use the salt as an alternative for toothpaste.
We gave out nail cutters, hair combs & clips. The team explained how to keep the body clean specially for the women. We demonstrated how to simply tie the hair of the little girls and they were all happy and smiling.
