Wednesday, February 17, 2010Photos from TB Training at Co-op
Each Saturday the social workers at the co-op organize a training on topics ranging from health issues to legal concerns for one of the 12 sewing work groups. We attended a training in Center #2 (one of the oldest work centers at the co-op!) about Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. The topics for the trainings are selected by the women in the work groups who express interest in learning about a particular subject. The social workers either then conduct the training themselves or call in an outside trainer who is an expert in their field. This week a man from the Maharashtra Anti-TB group conducted the training. He spoke about common symptoms of TB, the actions you can take to get help and where you can find resources. TB is one of the leading causes of mortality in India- killing 2 people every three minutes, nearly 1,000 every day. To read more about TB in India from the WHO. Here are some photos from the training:
