Sokon 1 Youth in Action
WIA introduced their Youth in Action program at Sokon 1 Primary School in the Sokon 1 Ward on Thursday. The school administrators were very happy to have us and we were thrilled by their cooperation.
Thirty students were chosen by the school, which consists of 1,139 children, to sit in on the introduction to the program. Mama Mosha (Elizabeth Mosha), the director of Women in Action, led the discussion, explaining what would be expected of the students as members of Youth in Action and what topics the group would cover.
The 5 Peer Educators
The students seemed very excited to be a part of this organization and already had many questions they wanted answered. Five students were chosen as peer educators to lead the Youth in Action group. They will be trained by Women in Action to teach their peers about these extremely important topics.
We are ecstatic to see how professionally these students behaved and how interested and excited they already are to learn. WIA looks forward to continuing our work at Sokon 1 so all 1,139 students will eventually be educated in life skills, gender issues, HIV/AIDS and other important information and, in turn, can go on to educate the world.
