On Wednesday we delivered our first worshop to 55 girls aged 9-12 in a school near Tegucigalpa. It went really well, especially as it was our first workshop, and the girls had fun as well as learning a lot. The worshop for this age group covered self esteem, sex and relationships, STI´s and introduced the idea of condoms through some games. It was an amazing experience to see our hard work come together and be successful.
The next few days we were in the north west of Honduras, having endured the worlds most uncomfortable bus ride ever for the 8 hour journey to and from Copan! We were joined by 3 more translators and Marisol too. We were lucky to be able to visit the famous Copan ruins and reinact our Spice girls routine in a local karaoke bar before our two day workshop that ran over the weekend.
This worshop was for leaders, training them to be able to run worshops with the girls in their own units about self esteem, sex, STIs, HIV and AIDS and teenage pregnancy. We also did some leadership activities, giving the leaders the confidence and knowledge to be able to deliver these activities. We ran full condom demonstrations with the leaders, allowing them all to practice. Over the two days we really noticed the leaders´confidence grow and their knowledge of the topics covered increase, which demostrated the real impact our work our out here is having. Best of all, both the leaders and the GOLD team had great fun!
