"Of Course, also, we were surprised that those young people were there, but they had grouped themselves and they wanted to stay and of course our immediate reaction was 'these are too young' but their parents also said they wanted them to be involved. Now a number of them were orphans,who were being assisted by some of their relatives. Some, maybe one or two, had their parents, but the older people felt that these girls should be involved, because they know most of the facts from their health education program which is in their school curriculum. In their primary health education they meet with these things. So their involvement in this workshop would not only address some of their immediate problems, but also the future. They found it very useful."
