So I went for a meeting last week on Thursday to explain a bit of what I do a show some of my resources. "Great" they said. "Can you rewrite your lesson plans into our format, and in 2 new topics, train our staff on Monday and then help us to train 80 district water people on Tuesday?"
<Mild panic because I was due to be away all Friday and Saturday>
But very excited at this opportunity, I said yes.
After some scrambled work on Monday morning, the staff training was great, and the director really approved of my interactive methods.
Here's how Tuesday went.

| The hall was pretty full |
We separated into 6 groups, 4 of which were receiving my training.
The water cycle, and catchment management
Disease transmission routes
Handwashing
Safe storage of water
Then each group fed back to the whole room - this was a great way to get the local water reps to practise giving the training themselves!
The highlight was seeing the local water rep explaining the water cycle in Quechua, using a story from a book I had as a child, and finishing with "and God made all our natural resources!" It was a wonderful moment.
