Fotos from HIV/AIDS workshop

I and two other volunteers gave a business simulation to a group of people from two HIV support groups, as part of a Peace Corps Health workshop on living well. It was a really super group and an awesome activity, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to participate in it. The majority of these women (and man) are discriminated in the workplace (if they are lucky enough to have employment) because of their status as HIV-positive. Hopefully they´ll be able to take this activity and utilize the skills to start their own business someday. Here are a few shots:

The group listening intently to our presentation on business concepts

Balloon race!!!! This poor girl was literally being dragged across the basketball court by her little high heel shoes.. her partner was intent on WINNING

Me in one of my only "professional Peace Corps" shots of me actually doing work. I have so few of these.

Another dinámica, passing a stressball from neck to neck. Hilarious!

Putting up their marketing materials... well, their marketing material really, there was only one sign. But it was a FINE sign!

Selling their product (embroidered cloth) like HOTCAKES!!!

After the sales day, the group presented the results of the activity to the rest of the participants of the workshop... they ended up making a profit!

The group!
