On 24th Feb ,we run 2 very nice workshops about HIV/ AIDS. Two workshops were run in 2 secondary schools in KL with more than 50 participants each workshop.
The facilities were really good and the school did support us a lot, that encourages us to make the presentation better. In fact, we faced a lot of difficulties and drawbacks because the two schools are very far from each other and we did not know how to take public transport to go back. And we were very worried about that; however, thanks so support from UPM’s driver and the teacher in the schools, we did have a very nice day with two good workshops.
About the first workshop, we received good feedback from school and they invited us to enjoy very nice meal there.
For the second workshop, it was really far from the first workshop and it takes us 2 hours by car from the first to the second workshop.We did have a discussion whether we should teach them such as English, games, dance, and so on. And the workshop start earlier than in plan.
The audiences are 14 years old, and fortunately, they are quite good at English .To tell the truth, our workshop is not as normal, it was much simpler, but that was the happiest workshop in my internship so far.
We had a huge amount of time to share with children, to play and to chat with them. And I realize that countryside kids are very lovely, friendly. We were the first group going to the school and teach them something special. And after all, that is an unforgettable day in my life and we can deal with any challenging in our lives if having HOPE.
Frankly, each workshop helps us to gain more knowledge about problems and issues and catch up with what is happening in the world. In addition, when searching information about the issues, we see a number of unlucky people who need our help and so that we reach more effort to devote to the project that protect human beings from HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
I want to say thank you to HOPE project and PTF because you give us very good opportunities to make friends, integrate with many people from different countries and areas in the world.
