 One
of the most delightful activities that both the Hesperian Foundation and
Project Piaxtla have become involved with during this past year is the
so-called Child-to-Child Program.
The idea of the program, in brief, is to interest and
involve school age children in helping meet the basic health needs of their
younger brothers and sisters. This is especially important in poor countries
and communities where the families tend to be large and where older children
do much of the caring for the younger ones.
.../...
At the invitation of David Morley of the Institute of Child Health in
London, I joined an international group of educators and community health
people in England last April in order to plan the CHILD-to-Child Program,
which will be a part of the International Year of the Child (1979). Together
we drafted a dozen or so possible "activities" based on our diverse ideas
and experiences from working with village children in many corners of the
earth. The activities looked good on paper--but they still needed to be
tried out.
Back in Mexico, the health workers of Project Piaxtla, the primary school
teachers, and the school children of Ajoya helped in the pilot testing of
several of these activities. The response of the children, teachers, and
health workers was enormous.
|
| |
One of the main focuses of the Hesperian
Foundation has increasingly become the development of simple, clearly
written handbooks and teaching materials for people-based health care in
poor countries and communities.

WHERE THERE IS NO PHYSICAL THERAPIST-- Home care and
exercise of the physically handicapped child.
(To be co-authored with Sophie Levitt, a South African physiotherapist.) |
[COMMENT:] This would
eventually become the book: Disabled Village Children. |

David
Werner is Co-founder and Director of HealthWrights and a Visiting Professor
at Boston University International School of Public Health. A biologist and
educator by training, he has worked for the past 37 years in village health
care, community-based rehabilitation, and Child-to-Child health initiatives
in the Third World, especially Mexico.
For
several decades Werner served as facilitator and advisor to Project Piaxtla,
a pioneering villager-run program which contributed to the early
conceptualization and evolution of Primary Health Care. Out of Piaxtla grew
PROJIMO, an innovative Community Based Rehabilitation Program Organized and
run Disabled Youth of Western Mexico. David has authored and illustrated
several handbooks on topics including basic healthcare, innovative solutions
with limited resources, and assistive technology. In 1998, he co-authored
the book, "Questioning the Solution: the Politics of Primary Health Care and
Child Survival," which explores the root causes of poor health and
possibilities for a healthier, more equitable way forward.
David
has worked in more than 50 countries, mostly developing countries, helping
to facilitate workshops, training programs, and approaches to "health
education for change."
He has been a consultant for UNICEF, WHO, the Peace Corps, UNDP, and
UN-ESCAP and various state and federal governments ranging from Mexico to
India and Iran.
He has received awards and/or fellowships from the World Health
Organization, the American Pediatric Association, the American Medical
Writers Association, Guggenheim, and the MacArthur Foundation, among others.
He is a founding member of the International People's Health Council. David
has also been active in the Planning and Analytic Group for the People's
Health Movement, which was launched at the People's Health Assembly,
Bangladesh, 2000. |
