Sometimes if she's cooking, I will be holding children and make sure that I pumped them so that they will not cry much and sometimes I even asked her to step aside. I will cook so my wife is happy more than before. Now Papa spillovers create a lot of awareness to us concerning how we should live with our people and also our children. We took our our wives like slaves before and without minding how they feel. We don't have them doing some things and later on. We realized that overflows they know it is not only duty to do that. You know all this tradition and other things that make us to believe that women are less than men. Papers were taking a lot of time to teach us how to go with the modern generation concerning washing hands before you start eating or drinking anything concerning it in your healthy. You must wash your hands first before you start anything and you will clean your environment that you are in to make sure that that. This is clean, but we we are having a lot of difficulty concerning breastfeeding, you understand, but when purpose blocks came, they make sure that. We do the needful and the rightful thing at the same time, because before when we give birth to our child, we always give him water, even from the bed. But when Pappas clubs came, they say, ah, no, it is, it is, it is not done that way. So let's try and make sure that at least at least a child should stay out of this common water for six months. I am not only a member, but I'm also one of the elders in the community. I serve as a community health secretary. So it is also my duty to go around to see whether people are being, what purpose club are being and make sure that they stay safe. And due to my observation, I'm going around and I know that people change for good. We know it is a little bit difficult because men are not equal. Some of them will respond, some of them will not respond, but it is our duty to make sure that we give them good, We approach them in good manner to make them see reasons with us. Helping your wife does not mean that you are a slave. As far as you are doing it willingly. If you go around to three-way, three houses now, if you interview them very well like you're doing now, they will tell you they have chance to see a different change.
