Today was a busy and fun day! We were educated by Kenyans on Kenyan culture, economy, politic, healthcare system and food access. We were instructed by the exercise physiologist as to what issues we may see arising in our client and how we can best help them. We learned from our pain specialist how intertwined osteoarthritis is within the rural lifestyles due to lifting heavy loads. We also learned much on the epidemic of heart disease and diabetes that are running ramped throughout Africa. We were instructed on culturally tailored methods to educate on promoting better health to avoid heart disease or minimize symptoms. We also took time to practice running the clinics. We each learned and practiced the role we will be playing at the clinics. We finished the day by watching the First Grader, an amazingly inspiration and beautiful movie.
