Chrysalis Girls Club: Week 17 (Sex Education)

After our weekly self-defense review, we jumped right into our topic of sex education…

We discussed reproductive systems, various contraceptives, and demonstrated how to use male and female condoms. The girls asked great questions, such as, “Sesi Mokgadi, why is the condom wet? Will we all get AIDS now that we’ve touched it?” This led to an important conversation about lubrication and how HIV/AIDS is NOT spread through condoms, contrary to a wide-spread belief in our village.

Project for the day was starting their beaded AIDS Ribbon Key Chains – a neat but rather difficult craft. Here, Mma Mabatlo is helping one table get the bead pattern started.

Mma Hlako demonstrates the AIDS Ribbon bead pattern on the board.
