This training was also with the De’Ang ethnic minority group though with a different group than the first training. People from three different villages came to the training which was held in the largest of the village’s administration compound. Over 175 people showed up! There was lots of talking, Q&A, games and songs with an HIV/AIDS prevention theme.

This training was also with the De’Ang ethnic minority group though with a different group than the previous training. Three villages had people at the training which was held in the largest of the village’s administration compound. Over 175 people showed up! There was lots of talking, Q&A, games and songs with an HIV/AIDS prevention theme. Lots of smiles were passed on both sides and lots of energy. It went well considering how BIG of a group there was.
This trip I invited a Canadian friend who has been working here in Hong Kong for 4 years, Michael Lang, to join us. He has been raising funds for NGOs over the past 3 years and is very interested in helping us with our work in Yunnan.

Photos from our first training with over 125 people in a De’Ang village in DeHong Prefect, Yunnan Province. We started at about 8pm and went on for about 2 and a half hours.
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.
