Youth group activities


Over the past few months, two work partners and I have been working with a youth group discussing topics related to sexual health such as sexually transmitted infections and diseases, and the prevention of HIV/AIDS. This past weekend, we completed our unit on sexual health and to celebrate we cooked a Togolese meal together, and I brought along the American dessert of banana bread. It was a beautiful cultural exchange and an enjoyable three+ hours spent playing logic games, discussing cooking skills, and talking about our youth group.

Many of my youth group members snapped photos of the food-preparation process, and captured some images of one another, too:




Stirring our meal - pieces of local "potato" in a tomato-based sauce

Food preparation, notice the "stove" on which the pot is cooking. The surface of the stove is filled with charcoal, and the heat is controlled by an individual fanning the charcoal.

Bon appetit!

A few happy youth group members
