Thursday Anna and I went with Fifi to some communities to recruit peer educators for HIV/AIDS. The goal is to train someone in each community to be a peer educator so they can then help their own people if they need assistance with HIV/AIDS...like where to get tested or treated. So Fifi was basically like...ok go start talking to people. It was pretty intimidating at first. We would just go up and ask people what they knew of HIV. and then talk to them for awhile. It was a good learning experience. 

Yesterday I trained Momma Lu, a nurse, how to use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. It is a slow process but it was good. I take for granted how I grew up and learned the computer.

Today I went with Fifi to a community and he talked to students about HIV/AIDS. We then did some testing and handed out flyers for WAAF. It is really hot today but it was good. I'm feeling more comfortable here and am learning my way around slowly. I have been here one week now and it went quickly. I am so excited about all I am going to learn. I will put up some pictures soon.
