Hello,
I've just posted this comment elsewhere, but I think this location will be more accessible, so I'm sorry if this is the second anyone is reading this. Anyhow, I hope evryone is doing well and I'm sorry for not posting more frequently, life has been really busy with exams and applications etc.
I don't know who best to address this question to, but I was wondering what the current state of HIV/AIDS is in Guyana and whether or not people would be interested in addressing this issue within our lessons. If people are on board, I am very interested and I think that we can do a lot of good things. Let me know what you think!

Hi Maia.
There has been a lot of work done locally on HIV/AIDS by volunteer groups passing thru, by the Ministry of Health...But a lot less with other more common STDs, and certainly the whole topic of sexual health and assuming power/responsibility over one's body is a very good one.
Girls here are scoped out and picked out at an early age, often by grown men... They learn early their power to attract but they rarely get the chance to mature enough to transform it into the power to choose... Before they know it they are pregnant and basically trapped in the pre-set pattern of life for women here, which has little influence and no authority over what happens in the world outside their homes.
