Good Medicine

Leron and Jean-Francois performed a funny skit this morning. A few weeks ago, Leron decided he would start team building exercises with the staff. He really thought it would benefit everyone to learn to trust each other and work together. Everyone attended...nurses, accountants, cleaners, guards, finance, cashier etc. So,the first one was all about trust. Obviously Jean Francois had no problem trusting Leron! Today the exercise was all about having fun and a cheerful heart. Leron and Jean-Francois prepared the skit in which one person is the face and feet and the other stands behind and uses their hands to perform basic tasks.

Jean-Francois bravely volunteered his face. First, Jean-Francois woke up, then did a few stretches and exercised. Time to get ready, he (I mean Leron did it for him)   washed his face, shaved, brushed his teeth and gargled. The point of the exercise was to laugh and enjoy being together.

As if the skit was not enough, Samna, our HR Director, led everyone is a game like “Simon Says”. Very fun to watch!

Leron got out pretty early...think it may have been a language problem?

lots and lots of laughing
                                

 The whole exercise was summed up by Leron encouraging the staff with Proverbs 17:22.  “A merry heart does good, [like] medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. “ We sure had some good medicine today….I am still smiling just thinking about it! I just love CURE and our staff. From all the laughing today, we should be a pretty healthy bunch.
