Notes
Purpose of the visit, Manuela and Keneth went to Kagulu village to teach the community members about the immune systems, this lesson is aimed at educating the participants so that they can know what happens to the immune systems when it has been attacked by the HIV Virus and also to know how different parts of the immune systems and how it functions. This lesson also helps the participants to learn on how they can boost their immune system to become stronger so that it can fight disease. When Manuela and Keneth reached the village, they found only three people waiting for them at the meeting place, Manuela greeted them and asked them where are the rest, they told her that some have gone for the burial but the rest are preparing to come, Manuela reacted that, she called the VHT and the chairman, they said that village is fine no problem how come that people went for the burial, one of the participants said that, not everybody went for the burial, the rest of the participants who are around will come. Manuela and Keneth decided to go and move around to inspect some of the home facilities that were constructed by Kibo group as they also mobilize the few members who were around to come and learn. After that, Manuela and Keneth came back to the meeting place, Manuela greeted the few participants around and introduced Keneth , she requested one of the volunteers to review the previous lesson, two people managed to review the previous lessons, scovia and Mussa, these two people would ask questions and members were able to share their ideas about the previous lesson, the rest of the participants who were not around on that day were able to learn what transpired in last week’s lesson . Though some of the participants were off track about the lesson learnt, Manuela was able to correct them and explained to them properly. Manuela told the participants that she is not going to teach the lessons she had prepared for the day because members around are few, Manuela told the participants that immune systems is a broad lesson that consist of roles play and games so it needs when members are in good numbers like 50, but she told them that, she is going to defined the immune systems and teach about the parts of the immune systems only.Manuela asked the participants what is immune system, they seemed not to understand what Manuela was asking them about, Manuela asked Keneth to explain it to them in their local language, few minutes later, they were able to understand what Manuela was talking about, Manuela asked them what is immune system, they said that how their body fights germs,which is close to the answer not bad. After brain storming. Manuela explained what immune systems is, Manuela said that it’s the way our body fights disease against the human body, Manuela told the participants that in our body there are two blood cells, white blood cells and red blood cells. White blood cells helps in protecting our body against diseases and Red blood cells helps in circulating oxygen in the body and carbon dioxide out of the body. Manuela told the participants that there are many cells in our body, Manuela also explained to the participants the other parts of the immune systems. As she was distributing the parts of the immune systems handouts, Keneth was explaining to the participants what immune systems is and it’s function to the human body in to detailed in their local language to the participants. After that explanation, Manuela distributed some of the hands out of the parts of the immune systems, Manuela asked the participants to go through the picture and feel free to ask questions, one of the participants said that she can only see drownings then she asked what are they, Manuela said they are also parts of the immune systems, she told them to be attentive because she is going to explained to them one by one and their functions to the human body, Manuela said she going to start with the Macrophages she told participants that, that cell is also called big eaters, they eat all invaders and sends signals to the immune systems that the body has been attacked, the T4 helper cells (the captain)for this cells it it receives information from macrophages and orders other cells to come and help. Manuela told the participants that since they are few, she would like to stop there, and continue with that lesson after finding out about what is causing law turn up of people yet she used to have 50 plus people in that village. Manuela told the executive to be ready on that day because they are going to move home to home asking people to tell her the reason why they have withdrawn from Life Skills program. Then she told them after that, she will continue with her lessons.
