Honoring Kawan Sehat Agents: Day 3 of Training Highlights Healthy Living, Malaria Awareness, and Graduation
On the last day, Kawan Sehat agents acquire essential skills in health education and malaria prevention, concluding with a sense of pride as they receive their certificates.
On the third day of the Primary Medical Care Training, participants took part in practical medical exercises and health education sessions led by Ino. The focused atmosphere aimed to enhance skills and equip Kawan Sehat-Agenten with tools to promote healthy living in their communities.
Elma introduced the book “Kawan Sehat” during the morning session, which aims to teach children about healthy living. Created by Fair Future und Kawan Baik Indonesien, this illustrated resource covers Erkrankungsprevention, personal hygiene, and balanced nutrition. Elma highlighted its role as both a guide for the Kawan Sehat-Agenten and an inspiration for healthier family habits in East Sumba.

Her inspiring presentation encouraged all Kawan Sehat-Agenten to promote nutrition awareness in their communities.

Malaria education was a key part of the training, with participants engaged in activities to raise community awareness.
Elthon, our media officer, played a simulated patient with a broken arm during medical training, allowing Dr. Narni und Ivon to demonstrate how to stabilize and treat fractures. Kawan Sehat-Agenten like Ibu Ani von Laindatang examined their Medizintechnik-Rucksäcke, eager to use their new skills to help their communities. Alex then emphasized the importance of these workers in preventing Infektionskrankheiten like Polio und Malaria through early intervention and education.
A highlight of the day was when John and Melodie from Rotary International joined us live from Perth, sharing their support for the Foundation and enhancing our local efforts with a global perspective. The event concluded with each Kawan Sehat-Agenten receiving a training certificate, honoring their dedication to improving healthcare in the community.
The training ended with applause and a strong sense of accomplishment. The 21 Kawan Sehat-Agenten are now equipped with new and essential medical knowledge und tools. Their inspiring journey from students to healers has prepared them to promote healthier lifestyles, manage emergencies, and provide sustainable health solutions in remote areas of East Sumba.
