This is how a typical home visit goes. (photos courtesy of Gavin, soccer coach extraordinaire - check out his blog at www.growingchampions.blogspot.com)
"Buenos Dias!", we shout... for some reason or another, we're always welcomed, and invited to come in and meet the people.
After a brief introduction and asking everyone's name - questions about the health of the family and community...
"How is the health of this community?" "Fine."
"Are there any sicknesses?" "Yes."
"What sicknesses?" "Lots of diarrhea and fever."
"How is your water supply here?" "It's good."
"How are sicknesses spread?" "Through the water."
"How is your water supply here?" "It's not good."
After we do a bit of teaching on how to purify water, we tell a Bible story and ask simple questions about it.
