This week Scouts Thomo/Giyani were able to have their first camp. The camp was funded by the VAST program of Peace Corps and USAID with funding and facillitation provided by Keep the Dream an NGO which has fostered the Scout movement into a very large youth group in north-eastern limpopo. Twenty two kids were able to come, about half from my group in my village and half new scouts. They participated in activities which which taught them about scouting and camping. A highlight was the campfire on night two when they had a chance to sing campfire songs and to plan their own songs and dances. The theme of the camp was to educate the participants to be HIV/AIDS peer educators, giving them sufficient knowledge about HIV/AIDs, its prevention and its impact to provide information to their peers. While I think all of the scouts learned a lot about the virus that they did not know, only seven qualified to be peer educators. Fortunately there will be another camp. It was quite cold at the camp site but I think everyone had a wonderful and memorable trip. It was definitely one of the high points of my time here.
