Girl's Health Workshop
Pia, a volunteer from Sweden, is a midwife back home that
discusses body changes with her patients and wanted to help with sharing some
of her knowledge whilst here in Nepal.
Along with volunteer Kristina (a volunteer from Germany) and myself, Pia
began to set up a short talk on girl’s body changes through puberty. We organised with the staff at Little
Daffodils School to borrow the girls from grades 7 to 9 for one class period
each over 2 days.
Pia started each group off with a talk on how our bodies
change and that it can be different for each individual. We then split the girls into 3 groups, led
each by Pia, Kristina, and I, to have a chance to discuss things in a smaller
group, talk about our own personal experiences,
and for the girls to build confidence in asking us questions.
We then headed back to the class room where the volunteers
and I could share with the class the information we had discussed and the
questions we had been asked along with the answers we had given.
Although the girls were nervous and giggly discussing such a
topic when it came to the smaller groups the girls really opened up and had
plenty of questions for us. We finished
off by letting the girls know that any questions they had in the future there
would always be a volunteer or staff member around for them to speak too and
that we all go through it.
