Workshop 4

Many Saturdays ago we had our fourth and final HIV/AIDs workshop. As it was our last week we decided to do things a little differently. Instead of a discussion type activity we split the large group into four groups, and then each group performed a play about HIV. We were very lucky as even though there was more initiation ceremonies happening, we had over 50 children and adolescents in attendance.

 After we split everyone into their groups, we helped them come up with ideas and then left them to rehearse.                                                            












Everyone took it very seriously, it was great to see everyone getting really into it.

The plays were all very different but mainly focused on the transmission of HIV, the acting was brilliant and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

 

After all the plays were performed, we put it to a vote. Everyone voted for the play they enjoyed the most, it was a very tough choice as all of them were brilliant and made everyone laugh. We were just glad we didn't have any say in who won. The winning group received a crate of fanta, the music was cranked up and we partied Malawian style one last time.
