Today we piled in the bus once again to head off to the ´Hogar de niñas´in Teguicigalpa where we were greeted by a very bouncy group of 25 14-25 year olds from the centre´s Guide group. All the girls were leaders, or wanted to be leaders. We ran the workshop from 1pm-6.30pm, covering leadershipo ckills, HIV and AIDS, pregnancy and how to put on a condom. The girls were great fun, really competitive and participated a lot during our activities. They did our chat up line activity, which encourages girls to say ´no´to sex, with much enthusiasm, with some hilarious impersonations of men.
The girls already seemed to know a lot about the topics covered, and we left feeling confident that they could go on to teach other girls the same things. We ended the workshop with a LOT of t-shirt signing and hugs, and Hannah made the mistake of allowing one of the girls the use of her camera. In true paparazzi style, and hundreds of photos later, we managed to prise ourselves off the girls before getting back in the bus, Oogo slightly perplexed at so many screaming girls. Tomorrow we´re back to the same centre again to run our workshop with the younger girls there :)
