The classes are being taught by Peace Corps volunteers Paige Fisher and Erica Everett. The first class covers basic children's rights, myths about safe sex, and sexuality. The second class covers sexually transmitted diseases, disease prevention, and teen pregnancy. The third class covers contraception methods and family planning. After the three classes the students will receive a certificate recognizing their participation.
We completed our first class in April, and it went really well. These are difficult topics to teach, but through photos, videos, games and informal conversation many of students have already begun to open up. We look forward to the next two classes and hope that students will share what they learn with their siblings and peers, encouraging others to be make healthy choices as well.Eco-Club Update (May 2013): Children’s rights and sexual education
