Netting distribution in Peroni!!!

Les, Simone, Paul, Job and I went to Peroni to distribute the rest of the nets. Peroni school is in Tanzania. Jim started the center there. They have 160 children. All the children sang a couple songs for us before we distributed the nets. Les had a great demonstration that she had us do while she was explaining how to use the nets and why they are important to use. She started by letting them know that mosquitoes will make them sick. She went on to demonstrate how to use the net by taking it out of the package and opening it up. Then we all held a corner of the net. She showed them to keep the net touching the floor so no mosquitoes can get in. Then she had Paul and I go under the net posing as the mom and dad under the net. She had two school children come under the net posing as the parent's children. Then Simone acted like she was a mosquito to show them that the mosquito cannot get the family under the net. However, if a section of the net is open the mosquito can get in. We demonstrated that by having Simone (the misqueto) go under the net and sting us. It was a fun illustration. The children will remember it because it was amusing to them.
