This is an old post I had started a long time ago and for whatever reason never finished. This past week I was reminded of my blog and realized that I haven't looked at it in a long time. With so much happening this past year and the changes that are coming I want to get this up and running again.
This post was originally named, "Midwifery is Educating Others"
As I have been studying to be a Midwife I have learned that it is so much more than just catching babies. Just like when you go to the doctor and have questions about your health midwives have to be knowledgeable too.

We have been learning about different teaching techniques and how to reach your people group. Kimberly wants to serve the people in Nepal so her lesson plan was using things on hand with no technology. She did a great job of using pictures and songs with motions.

We have done lesson plans on childbirth and family planning too. To give us practice and make sure we know our material everyone got the opportunity to teach a segment of their lesson plan. Some of our class will stay in the US or be in developed nations so they used power point in their presentations.

Part of my lesson plan was on proper nutrition in pregnancy which was for a Haitian audience.
Unfortunately I didn't think to ask anyone to get pictures of me teaching. I have saved all my teaching material in the hopes of using it in Haiti soon.
