Radio Show - World AIDS Day

Also this past month, fellow PCV Jenn Farwell, a health volunteer in a nearby village, and I did a radio show in my town on December 1st, World AIDS Day. It was about 30 minutes long and all in Hausa, basically a short introduction of Peace Corps and then all about AIDS, like myths, protection, the importance of the day, etc. We were both really nervous but it turned out to be a huge success and the radio staff loved it, they even asked us to come back to repeat the show. We’re hoping that maybe we can turn it into a once a month show or something and that every month can have a different theme, like education or nutrition. It was just very exciting because it really felt like I was putting something out there and into my community.
