Fundamentals in Homeopathy Program Begins in Port au Prince
Monday, June 25, 2012
Last night, following our fearless leaders, I went to bed at 9 p.m. That is really unusual for me, but since I’d been warned about the roosters, I slept. Sure enough, at 5 a.m., the roosters began their wake-up calls. We feigned sleep until 6, then got ourselves ready for the first day of class.
Breakfast in the kitchen was wonderful: yummy, spicy peanut butter, bread and eggs. We were then picked up by our driver and headed to class. We were picked up inside the guest house compound, because the local driver and security guards really want us to be safe. The streets enroute to class have seen better days. The ridges are so big that the van had to drive very slowly; the rocking was more like a rocking boat on a stormy sea.
HWB’s Fundamentals in Homeopathy program is being taught at the OPL Center in Port au Prince.
At class, the students rolled in. We set up the computer and projector but, alas, there was no electricity. But, class must go on!
Karen asked students if anyone had used the kits they were given in April. Amazingly, in a culture where class participation is minimal, hands started going up. Students shared stories of some of the cases they used their remedies for and told of the successes they’d had. You could see the excitement in their faces. The little pills work! One students had even prescribed a remedy for a malaria case and had positive results, although they had not covered the pathology in class.
It was hot and dusty, but everyone hung in there. It was wonderful to see so many, mostly young students engaged in studying to help heal their people.
