How's your Tumbuka?



We have 28 (plus a few extra) notebooks printed and tabulated and ready to go to Malawi for the health worker training.  It has been quite a trick keeping the various subjects identified since my Tumbuka is nonexistent.  I finally resorted to writing the heading in English at the top of each new section.  We're going prepared with Lessons translated into Tumbuka in the following subject areas:  Growth Monitoring, Immunizations, Pre-natal care, Family Planning, First Aid, Oral Rehydration Therapy and Nutrition.  We also have a few short specific areas of need they asked to discuss such as malaria, AIDS, TB, and women's health.  We will cram as much teaching into our short time as possible.  At the end, everyone will receive the coveted certificate of completion!
