Abstract

As a group of ten Brigham Young University students and instructors, we came to teach the Dominican Republic’s national health facilitators a methodology of teaching accompanied with a manual devised by Laubach Literacy under the direction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each morning we would study international health issues and then go to train these promoters a means of teaching people how to approach their own problems.
