The last few days have been so much fun with Lynnea here! We've definitely hit up the town and made quite a scene.... We have been to visit the Inupiat Heritage Center, Tuzzy Library, and the AC. We went to church this morning and then went on a hunt for a small gift for all the people we've worked with here in Barrow. On Friday night we went to Brower's Cafe for dinner and had a good, warm meal! I think we accomplished a lot in 4 days!
I can't believe our time here is winding down so quickly. If you say it's "technically" Monday, we only have five days left! Things have flown by. We've been able to ruminate a little this week on all that we've experienced so far. It seems like we just arrived in Fairbanks, unsure of where to go and who to talk to.
We're all ready to teach on a variety of health topics this coming Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We are excited to meet the middle and high school students and hopefully get some hands-on time within the lectures to keep students occupied. We're planning to teach on Western and Native nutrition, stress reduction and relaxation techniques, community health development, health careers, and hygiene/handwashing/gowning and gloving. We have gowns and gloves and blood pressure cuffs and Glo-Germ to let the students experiment with. The community has agreed that these health teaching topics will be very beneficial in getting the students to think about health careers. Stay tuned for a winding down of activity this week!
