Gathering all the necessary supplies for our training session in a Jingpo village in Santaishan Township.
On the evening of May 17, Claire together with some CDC people held a very interesting and successful programme activity in a Jingpo village known as Yunqian Village. It is one of the villages under a greater Yunqian Village Committee, which is about 35 km from Mangshi, capital town of Dehong Prefecture, and includes 5 Jingpo villages and 1 De’ang village.
Three Jingpo villages were involved, and totalling 113 households! We had planned to include 87 households in two villages only, because the third village is about 4 km away rom the venue, but unexpectedly many young men and women from those 26 families in the third village came upon the news that we were doing an interesting programme. It was really inspiring!

Well the 1st session I would have to say was a great success. We had hoped for 50-75 people and over 125 people came. It was done in a De’Ang village (a very small ethnic minority group – less than a few thousand in China) in DeHong Prefect, Yunnan Province. We started at about 8pm, this is because they don’t tend to come back from the fields until 6:30-7:00pm, then they make dinner and then they came.
We had bought a bunch of fruit, and daily necessities (such as mosquito coils, toilet paper, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels, etc.) which we used as prizes and gifts for participating in the training. Everyone was extremely grateful. For the activities the local Centre for Disease Control (CDC) people (who we are teaming up with) and the village health workers had put together an informative discussion, and some games and question/answer periods all with a theme of basic HIV/AIDS prevention. We had some activities for kids and some for adults, and instead of lasting the hour we had expected it to they kept us there for over 2.5 hrs.
