Ward aerobics - The ladies love it!!!

Just another little idea of mine to keep our ladies busy, fit, breathing deeply, and of course my speciality – SMILING! At the Mercy Ships hospital where I work one day a week, these ladies are waiting for, or recovering from surgery to repair fistula's (holes down below often caused by obstructed labours, causing incontinence, which in turn often casts them from family and society – the Dr's here will hate that description as it's much more complicated than that, but trying to keep it simple!). Anyway these ladies can be admitted from 2 weeks or longer. As well as their medical care, they also join in with literacy, skills, colouring, peer support, devotions and informal counselling. But some of the time they sit around with not a lot to do. So in I come with some gentle but very fun group exercise classes, it gets them moving, breathing, and blood circulating – we have a ball!
Just look at those smiles! It got to be good for you!
