From Fiona, Sally, Kerry and Donna

Fiona, Sally, Kerry and Donna are really looking forward to the trip to Zambia and Chipembi girls school. Donna and Kerry have been before while for Fiona and Sally this is their first time. We are all excited about working with the girls on health topics.

We have been asked to provide sessions on HIV & AIDS, sexually transmitted illnesses, pregnancy and personal hygiene.

We will use a variety of methods to introduce the topics including discussion, visual aids, quizzes and direct information giving. Izzy who is also making the trip has very kindly printed posters and booklets which we can leave with the school. It is now only just over 7 weeks until we travel and the excitement is building.

We still have some work to do so will meet several more times to check our materials and finalise the detail of delivering the sessions.

Apart from our own project work we have enjoyed meeting with others in the group to share food, singing, dancing and generally getting to know people better.

We are looking forward to continuing this pattern both here and when we are in Zambia.

Finally we are most excited about simply being at the school, meeting old friends, making new ones and experiencing the wonderful culture and country that is Zambia.

Fiona, Donna, Kerry and Sally
