We're on the radio!

Gillian Lumsden reporting this week....

This week was full of many exciting ,emotional and inspiring things all combined into one.

Monday and Wednesday we has 2 workshops booked per day at various Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) GRADE 1-8pm each had its own successes & challenges. We finally came out of the workshops conveying the right information and working well with the peer educator translating into Ewe. We reached out to over 400 people at the various schools. The students were so receptive, involved, and asked a lot of questions.

On Thursday, Shawn, Karine, and myself (Canadian volunteers) and Hope, Gifty, and Johnny (Ghanaian volunteers) were asked to speak about our program on Jubilee radio 95.5. This was a great opportunity to reach out to the entire community about our program. It was also an experience for those who have never spoke on the radio to see the entire thing in action. Part of the experience was the electric cutting out in the middle of the production. But, we waited and continued with the program with a back up generator. One of the lessons we all learned from the beginning is to be flexible and patient.

Only 2 more weeks of outreach...stay tune for more to come!
