T.I.A This Is Africa - Journal of S4S Volunteers
Susan Manion
My first week in South Africa began with a leadership forum with learners form Australia and South Africa. The forum aimed to focus on issues of HIV/AIDS, drugs and alcohol, gender roles and family structure. The forum not only covered issues but also allowed students from different cultures and backgrounds to learn from each other. The students generated ideas and action plans around the topics they had discussed throughout the week to present to their communities. The week was an intense learning experience and an opportunity to make new friends.
