Observation on Okinawa Island

Let's go OUT!

It's nice to go for observation to the related facilities during the training.
This time, IEC(B) course visited Health Section, Department of Resident's Welfare, Nanjo City. It is located the southeastern part of the island, and takes about 30 minutes from OIC.

We were welcomed by Mr. Juntatsu Takaesu, the chief of Health Secion.

After each participant made self introduction in Nihongo(Japanese language!), we had two-hour lecture titled Health Promotion Projects in Najo City.

The lecture was really significant, especially in terms of "prevention of diseases" and "participatory approach by local community association".

Say "Nanjo! (instead of cheese)" - Mr. Juntatsu Takaesu and 08IEC(B) participants -


After lunch break at Haebaru JUSCO, we had an observation of Dental checkup of 2.5 years old infants of the city.
Though it was named "Dental checkup", the session covers physical and mental development checks, nutrition counseling, etc.
