So this year, the volunteers in my province wanted to provide an equal experience not just for our girls but for our boys as well. We hosted another weekend camp called Camp B.U.I.L.D (Boys United in Leadership and Development). This was an opportunity that provided over 50 students with lessons and presentations on problem solving, future goal planning, health education, domestic violence, community project planning and career choices.
Koet Sam Ath, from KAPE, spoke to the boys about problem solving. The boys really enjoyed her presentation and wanted to get their picture taken with her.
For an evening activity, the boys decorated and created their Camp Build posters which had to incorporate everything they learned that day.
Irene taught the boys how to do yoga which I'm pretty much sure they have never done in their life before.
These two ladies, Chenda and Chenna, are from the Our Strength Organization. They spent the whole day Saturday teaching our students about reproductive health, domestic violence, STD's. It's interesting, in America we are taught about health education at such an early age and in Cambodia these subjects are rarely taught to any of the students.
Peace Corps love!
Me and my boys.
