ENREACH - Day 1, Sept 1

Jo sat in for the afternoon session on Evidence-based Nutrition (as I was back in camp for recall briefing in the afternoon). Very informational and lasted some 90 minutes. After our buffet dinner, we started our first Small Group Sharing: "Rediscovering Myself"

Our group was called "Lilies" and had 9 participants: 5 patients and 4 caregivers + 2 facilitators. We found it very effective as all of us shared from our hearts what we've faced and gone through. We shared on:
- What changes in lifestyles were made
- The good things that came out from the cancer journey
- How we coped with it

All in all a rather personal sharing session, but we found it highly inspiring and effective listening and learning from other patients and caregivers. One of the key messages running through the participant's responses was about God and how He was the One sustaining them. We found out also that most of them are Christians! Amen!

We've got a long day ahead tomorrow...and I'd like to see how Jo wakes up at 730am! :)
