Lets put this out of the way, if its not on its not safe, yes the condom!! Protect yourself, use a condom.
Working with young people at Reach A Hand has made so proud of my generation and we can do to better the lives of others.
These young people are Reach A Hand with their slogan, ‘Young people for Young People’ are making sure that other young people get access to sexual reproductive health information and services through different approaches like music projects, Flash mobs, social media campaigns, plays, games and peer educator training.
This week, I travelled with the Reach A Hand team to Kisenyi a Kampala slum. This place is the home and heart of street children and Reach A Hand was bringing them a concert through their music project, a flash mob aimed at distributing condoms and free HIV/AIDS testing.
My question to you is; what are you doing to have people in your community access sexual reproductive health information and services?
Below are some of the images I took during the flash mob and concert.
When the dancing startedThese guys are real good at dancing and calling attention to themselvesShe pulled the bend over moveThere were skaters giving away condomsHe pulled a dance move but my camera failed to get it.‘I will put them in my pocket, I don’t want people to know that I also got free condoms’‘But my friend has none, let me share with him’‘This is so embarrassing’‘This is how you use a femidom, you insert it in the woman’s vagina before sex’ A peer educator explains to the locals on how to use a female condomShe was the centre of attraction on her skatesWe also had bikers, no bicycle riders…Dancing on Eddy Kenzo’s Sityo Loss and surely the guy was point…..Some people thought it was a rally, yes that the presidential campaigns had started… on they surprises it was young people dancing and giving away condoms to the people in the community.The whole village came….Everywhere you turned a young person had thsirt on with the words ‘If Its Not On Its Not Safe’It was for causing traffic jamThe motorists were not happy, until boxes of condoms saw their ways to their cars…And concert that saw GNL Zamba perform to the residents of this slum area Kisenyi
