They also train lay people in agriculture, small animal husbandry and appropriate technology so they can exist in isolated areas. A Vision Seminar is normally three days in length and is used to introduce the CHE concept to a new country or area. The participants should be leaders of organizations who might be interested in an integrated approach to community development and health. As a result of the Vision Seminar the leaders normally choose people from their organization who have the capability and interest to implement CHE in a target location. These individuals then participate in a TOT I, which is the first of three, five- day seminars.
TOTs focus on spiritual development and preventative health teaching.
I equips people to become trainers of CHEs and choose a location in which to start their own CHE program. I focuses on the CHE's development philosophy and how to start a CHE program. The spiritual emphasis is evangelism. After completing TOT I, the trainers return to their community, choose an area in which to work, then enter that community and create interest in implementing their own CHE program. TOT II focuses on developing teaching materials, methods and curriculum.
