Today was a full day of HIV and Aids. Our program manager flew in from Guayaquil to do a sort of training with us. Her name is Rebecca and she’s the specialist in HIV/Aids stationed in Guayaquil. We started out with a questionnaire. It had basic questions about how it’s transmitted, etc. We did condom demonstrations and different dinamicas about how to educate people on the subject of sexual reproductive health.
A woman who is working on the rights of those living with HIV/Aids came to tell us her story, which was very powerful. All in all the day was really fun and informative. It got me really pumped to talk about sex ed and self esteem to teenagers, especially to girls because it seems that self esteem issues are a problem among girls. We watched this awesome video called the girl effect: the clock is ticking. Here is the link, I would def recommend you to watch it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8xgF0JtVg
We were going to go get empanadas after class today but the place was closed. I went home to work on our project for tomorrow, I hope it goes o.k!
