SHARING THE BOOK:
EXAMPLES FROM DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES
By looking things up in her book
together with people, a health worker
takes some of the mystery out of
medicine. This puts the health worker
and other people on equal terms, and
gives people more control over their
own health.
A health worker in Ajoya, Mexico shows two
children the pictures of worms in WTND and
asks them what kind they have.
Pictures from WTND have been used for
posters in the CHILD-to-child program (see
Ch. 24). Here a child shows the importance
of keeping poisons out of reach.
Here health workers in the Philippines use
WTND to learn about fractures, bleeding,
and shock in a role play.
A health worker from Guatemala uses this book in pregaring a poster about ‘oral rehydration’.
Agroup of curious school children look on. Together they learn about health problems,
drawing, taching, and sharing of ideas.
