Abstract
My project began with a flight to Lusaka, Zambia with a non-profit organization based in America Fork, Mothers Without Borders. The program consisted of daily service activities, nightly dinners with a Zambian family, and lodging in a hostel in Lusaka. Every morning we rode a bus to a government school in Lusaka, where we taught classes in nutrition, first aid, hygiene, HIV/AIDS prevention, arts and crafts, and recreation. I personally taught hygiene, using glitter transferred from hand to hand to show how germs move and demonstrating washing hands removes germs. It was amazing how minimal their understanding was about basic health principles.
