Training

This is at one of our trainings. We usually have to sing songs or do some sort of energizer to keep things moving...




Here is a skit I did with my counterpart (the teacher) and Cessie’s counterpart (my fellow student.) We were discussing how kids need to chose good role models and not give into peer pressure. I was playing the bad student who was trying to convince his friend to come out and party with him that night, even though we had a test the next day. My character shows up the next day sick and hungover and does poorly on the test. Sorry about the sound but it’s all in Swahili so it probably doesn’t matter that much anyway...

(NOTE FROM JAYCE'S DAD - This video was 5 min long and had no sound. I improved it)



Here we are playing a game with the children. In this the kids form a ring around a fellow student and act as elephants protecting their young. The other kids are lions who try and get the baby elephant in the middle. As time goes on we decrease the number of people in the circle guarding until its very easy for the lion’s to get the baby elephant. We use this example to talk about the deterioration of the immune system when you contract HIV, and how it’s easier to get infected by other diseases...




Here we are leading a class of students in a little song. This was just a small lesson, regular classes in Tanzania are about 10x this size. The room is the same size, just 10x more children...
