Irene
Irene’s eyes sparkle when asked about how Health Ed Connect has changed her life: “My compassion has doubled!” she laughs. “Health Ed Connect has helped me learn how to teach children. Now I have a way to help them stay healthy—even my own children I’ve taught about HIV and about sickness to avoid with better hygiene.” The training Irene received as a Child Support Specialist was so empowering she volunteered to be the chairperson for the group. “I’d like the CSS groups to continue for a long time. It is close to my heart because I have experience—I have one orphaned niece in my home—Mapasho. Through the group sessions, games, and lessons, we are learning together how to handle the emotions that come with this struggle for both of us.”
