Phrase of the day: Dia Mundial de SIDA... World AIDS Day
Today was World AIDS Day! I'm not going to lie, I don't think I've ever thought about the day itself as much as I did this year (but then again, it's not like I've ever had a job where it was one of our main priorities; teaching sexual education, I mean). That's right, I'm going to be teaching sexual education.
There were skits in the high school. And each class had to make a poster about HIV/AIDS. For the most part their information correct. But the most important part is that they actually new what HIV and AIDS are. In the evening, Kasie and I had our weekly Women's Group meeting. We began with a recap about Nutrition, which Mitha actually gave to everyone! I was impressed. (And yes, I am getting fruits and vegis from her now with my meals!)
Afterwards, Kasie spoke about HIV/AIDS, and we finished with a talk about Aerobics. On Mondays, Kasie is instructing aerobics and on Thursdays I am. My moves are mostly a combination of things we used to do at wrestling practice and my awesome workout from back home. Yes, the one that Willy, Brian, and Rajib always make fun of me for. (They can't make fun of me here though!) I'll try to flip(record) my next session. You can use it in place of your P90x workout... if you can handle it.

  1. Maybe I can get BB to flip (record) all of us making fun of you...then you can watch it after (or during) your workout and it'll be like old times!

    haha, got'em!

  2. Sounds like things are really coming along and these teaching will have an impact for sure. Maybe you should show that clip of Brian on the dance floor to your kids, this way they can understand boundaries of what is safe and not safe!

    (and bb too!) i'll try my best to add those videos into the curriculum. although that may have the opposite effect, and all the girls will begin constantly asking me for his digits
