Finally, after two years of anticipation, preparation, and translation, the PT Training Center at the Agape Rehabilitation Complex is launched! We held our first two-week session in August with eight students: five local and three from other cities in Ukraine. Krista and I taught the lectures, Sveta did virtually all of the translation, Tanja helped with translation during small group sessions and Henry (the skeleton) never said a word, but was an excellent teacher nonetheless!
It was an exhausting and wonderful two weeks. We enjoyed watching the students learn, grow, and gain confidence. Our mornings were primarily spent on lectures in the classroom and then we moved to the rehab gym in the afternoon to develop and practice skills. We gave exams on the first and last days and everyone was pleased to have passed the final exam. In addition, we had lab activities, games and oral quizzes throughout the session to help students grasp and retain the information. God was gracious to us and answered many prayers and we are grateful to all who prayed for us and for the students.
