Everyone is having a grand time at our weekly education sessions with our Expert Peer Educator, Socrates! The subject matter ranges from teen health issues to STDs, HIV and HPV.
Parents have informed Socrates that their teens have begun behaving in a more mature manner. Some participants have asked Socrates to come to their classrooms to lead an education session.
Here are two videos from a recent session:
Socrates engages the teens with questions, discussion, and laughter
Sessions end with a clap and a song
Now, it is time for us to think about the next steps. Interested teens will start to be trained to manage and run the sessions themselves. We would love to expand this program to schools as well, but we need your help. This program is in its fledgling stages. It is very much appreciated by the particpants, but we need to plan strategically to keep this program rolling and allow it to have greatest effect among teens.
Please join us in innovating health education for teens in Mali
