Nearly 150 young girls and boys from the area of Cobán, Alta Verapaz, paricipated in our 3-day workshop for youth leaders last week! On day 1, the participants focused on gender, on the roles of women and men, on equity and differences. It was wonderful to see their involvement and how excited they were to be here! For many, coming to Cobán meant a long journey from the villages where they live with their families, many for the first time were this far away from home. Some only finished primary school and are not receiving any more education but they want to learn to make conscious decisions when it comes to family planning and help their peers and their communities do the same.
