Hi Ashanta,<br />
This is interesting. I share the same experience with you. Before , attendance in our school health club meetings were very scanty. Then we decided to choose and delegate peers for each class and we call them 'ambassadors'. This has worked like magic. The turnout has more doubled and information about HIV/AIDS is spreading like wild fire. The youths have their potentials and until they are ignited, you wouldn't know they can burn

Hi Ashanta,<br />
<br />
Thanks for sharing! Having a first SALT experience is like a pebble in the water, it ripples off to all kind of places and areas :-) I'm so happy to read that it is useful for you and for the young people you work with.<br />
<br />
I still remember when talking with Toussaint from DR-Congo who explained to me how he changed the way he does 'prevention'. He used to go to the community and give them all the info, then leave some time for questions. Now, he facilitates the discussion. He…

I still remember when talking with Toussaint from DR-Congo who explained to me how he changed the way he does 'prevention'. He used to go to the community and give them all the info, then leave some time for questions. Now, he facilitates the discussion. He stimulates them by showing them their strengths and potential. He helps them to do their self-assessment. If people ask for more information about HIV, he can then give it. But the starting point is different. He said that before people thought: "HIV, that is Toussaints business." Now they see that it is everyone's business. You can see Toussaint's video (en french) here: <a href="http://aidscompetence.ning.com/video/transformation-des-pairs" target="_blank">http://aidscompetence.ning.com/video/transformation-des-pairs</a><br />

Dear Ashanta,<br />
<br />
So glad to hear that you already started to apply SALT in your work and that you already noted the difference the process had made. This is so inspiring! I'm sure the new peer educators will love to be really listened to, to be appreciated, to be stimulated and supported, and to be treated as members of your team. Please continue to share with us how you practice and what you learn from the experience, so that we can all learn with you.<br />
