| Sex. ed. |
Last day at Linda Farm! Jack and Rachel Y
headed into the compound to finish collecting research from the final few
houses. Meanwhile, volunteers decided it would be of use to do a HIV teaching
session with the adults and a sexual education session with the teenagers. The
HIV focus group ran smoothly, with some interesting questions from the adults.
Unfortunately the teenagers were preoccupied; however the adults were keen to
have the sexual education lesson instead. The volunteers never thought they
would find themselves demonstrating the application of condoms on bananas and
femidoms in the middle of Africa! With no time for embarrassment, the locals
soon stepped up to give it a try. An educational morning for all.

Beth returned to her taxi duties; ferrying
volunteers, interpreters and Thomas around town. Due to this Kate, Mel, Elea
and Rachel T volunteered to begin the walk home, optimistically hoping Beth
would pick them up on the way saving them from the African heat. 1 hour and
several muzungu photo shoots later Beth rocked up, giving them a lift for the
last 100m . . . thanks!
Ben, Jack and Jeff headed to Martine’s (one
of the Malota guys) house where they were treated with nshima and a,
slightly bizarre, Nigerian comedy. Others relaxed at the Lodge, whilst Kate and
Beth narrowly missed a £200 printing bill. The evening saw the volunteers
heading off for the Sunset Cruise. The cloud cover meant the night was more
focused on the unlimited alcohol and food, though their musical tones on the
return home assured us they had a great time!
