Mexico
Second trip
Report of a second formation
It's a fact, 12 extra practicians are
formed in Mexico plus one practician of the previous formation who became teacher.
I have said before that it was not finished yet.....there are 19 practicians now.
Like the first time, I will give you a small report
accompanied with new pictures.
Departure at the 17th of april to Mexico and after a heavy
trip (5 hours of delay), we arrived: tired but happy. The passport control and the
recuperation of the luggage had become a habit now and soon we reached the exit.
Immediately I noticed a panel with the name 'Jacques Gesret', held by a laughing man. As
foreseen Dr.Landazuri and his wife were waiting for us. A warm welcome "abrazo"
and a car drive to Cuernavaca were the next steps (not like cows as we are used to say,
but as the azteks say: "like walking over water").
The fatigue and a comfortable car made me soon falling in an unresistable sleep so that I
wasn't aware of the passing time. Arriving at the course place in a wooded area, we
went to bed immediately.
The next morning, in a nice atmosphere, we got a huge breakfast and met the practicians
who would be formed. Subsequently, we decided to work outside on the terrace because of
the mild temperature and the sun who announced it would become a beautifull day in
spring.

After one hour of theoretical explications
and answering lots of questions, we went on to the practical teaching of my techniques in
a completely relaxed way (not for everybody). We worked all the morning and at 14 h the
hunger made us stop for a while.
Restarted work with a desire
close to impatience. Because the practicians were so numerous, Rogério Aranda, who was
formed six months before, came to help me. I had to admit when I saw him working.... I
thought it was me !
He assimilated totally and perfectly all my techniques and knew perfectly how to teach
them to others.
His help was very precise during the complete course, so that I decided at the end to
deliver him the certificate of teacher, well merited (by his big surprise).

The three days went on in an atmosphere of carefull
work so that we have seen lots of real and false asthma cases and the problems linked with
the immune system.The demand was so big that on one day I had to see 20 patients. At the
end we had to form two groups, Rogerio and me, so that we could control that everything
was done properly and so that we could corrigate if necessary.
At the end of the last afternoon I could
present the certificates to all the practicians.
It was a moment of big emotions and everybody tried to hold their tears like doing the
ambrazo, and everybody applaused. It was part of a huge pleasure I felt because I was with
them and they knew how to express themselves without false shame.

France and my "doudoue" (right)
Strong relationships were formed and as was said while shaking my hands:"I will try
to become the best of your practicians". I have no doubt about it. |

After finishing the course, we
deserved a little rest and as tourists we visited the region. Next: departure to
Huixquilucan where other days of work were programmed.
We were attended and invited to participate on a party for the communion of two young
girls.Warm atmosphere and meals with lots of Tequila and Corona (necessary for digestion
of the peppers).
All the kids were very close to us and wanted to learn some French words, wanted to danse,
and really sticked close to us, wanted to play "laugh - don't laugh".
Lots of questions !

Happy moment

Staying serious ?

Impossibel !

I also have seen back the kids
we treated at the first formation, they felt all very well and didn't have any little
asthma crisis since six months.
We have built some solid projects for the future and everybody determined its place in
their realisations. But it has to stay a surprise....of which I hope I can tell you later
about on this website.
At the moment, I am waiting impatiently to the
next travel which is already foreseen in the organisation !
