Health Classes In Public Schools

Erin teaching a Nutrition class in the public schoolOn Tuesday our team started a new ministry.  We began teaching health classes in the two public schools in Armenia Bonito.  We will be teaching health classes twice a month.  Five separate classes were taught to 210 kids in six grade levels.

Here is the biggest difference between public school in the U.S. and Honduras – we have been encouraged by Principal to include a biblical component.  After each class we will be exploring what the Bible has to say about the topic and we will include a Gospel message.

Our first class was on “Eating A Balanced Diet”.  The kids all received a lecture and handouts. Future classes will be on Vitamins And Minerals, Dental Hygiene and more.  Our teammate Lindsey McCann has a degree in Health & Exercise Science and Erin is a Registered Nurse.  The knowledge that these two bring is a wonderful resource.
