I've had a crazy week of traveling! These most recent photos are from an activity I coordinated with another volunteer to promote HIV/AIDS awareness. In the morning we hiked up a series of waterfalls, which because of the rains were stunningly full, and crystal clear. I for some silly reason which escapes me now, had decided against bringing a swimsuit but plenty of wading was to be had.



The activity was a billiards tournament. In between each round a small lesson is giving, one about what is the difference between HIV and AIDS, how you can get it and not get it. The importance of getting the test done, the laws protecting those who have the disease, and at the end a segment about condoms. Here in this photo I am demonstrating how condoms can stretch by putting a condom on this guys arm. He was a great sport. I kind of forced him to participate. Many complaints about condoms is that they don't fit, so this is kind of myth buster activity. So in order to win, in the final round the finalist have to answer correctly questions about the mini lessons given every time they shoot a ball into the pocket. If they don't answer correctly, they either loose their next turn, or the ball is placed back on the table. Normally the men are super respectful, and don't haze us.



Usually working with men, is highly intimidating, but these events have proven to be highly successful
