On January 31st we gathered 60 kids into a small, sunny classroom and then lectured them for two hours. Why? To save their lives. The lecture was on HIV/AIDS and also covered abortion and alcohol. Olya, the head of Interlink’s Youth Impact (which reaches out to orphanage graduates) created and gives the lectures. The children are a cross section of kids who live at the institution and other locals who attend classes there. For two hours they heard and discussed topics which are normally completely taboo here. Of course there was laughter, whispering, the passing of notes, and the mischievous boys in the back row, but those two hours might have just saved their life. Now, that’s a good feeling!
