Where There Is No Doctor 2011
USE PICTURES TO GET PEOPLE TALKING AND THINKING TOGETHER
Show a group of people a picture similar to this and ask them to discuss it. Ask
questions that get people talking about what they know and can do. Here are some
sample questions:
• Who are the people in the picture and how do they live?
• What was this land like before the people came?
• In what ways have they changed their surroundings?
• How do these changes affect their health and well-being?
• What other changes could these people make? What else could they learn to
do? What is stopping them? How could they learn more?
• How did they learn to farm? Who taught them?
• If a doctor or a lawyer moved onto this land with no more money or tools than
these people, could he farm it as well? Why or why not?
• In what ways are these people like ourselves?
