AIDS/ Leadership Camp 3

Picture 1: This is a picture of Bom blowing up a condom. We were preparing to play a game called Condom Time Bomb. This is where you blow up condoms, like balloons, and put a statement about HIV/AIDS in the condom. The students all sit in a circle and pass around the condoms, one at a time, to music and when the music stops the person with the condom has to pop it, read the statement inside and say if its true or false and why.

picture 2: From left to right this is Bom, Becky, Julia, Arnold, Me, Conner, and Maeve. These are all of the Peace Corps volunteers, and Bom, that came to help. It was really fun to blow up the condoms. We were all making jokes while we were doing it. The only bad thing is the condoms were lubricated, so we had to wipe them off before we could put them to our mouths.

Picture 3: This is a picture of the kids actually playing the Condom Time Bomb game.

Picture 4: This is a leadership activity called Points of Contact. The kids had to work together in groups and only have so many body parts touching the ground. For example, if we said 4 the group of 8 would have to figure out how to only have 4 points of contact touching the floor. So if you are standing, you have two points of contact on the floor because two feet are touching the floor...and with 8 people thats actually 16 points of contact.

Picture 5: This is a leadership activity called human knot. This is a game where the kids all reach in and take someone elses hand and have to unwind themselves to make a circle without ever unlocking hands. This is really fun to play with Thai people because its impolite to step over anyone in this culture, so they think this game is really funny and strange.
