The Hilton High Health Club has begun a new term.  Last term was very successful and included activities such as a Clean Up Day, where the club cleaned the area in Bukasa where the weekly market is held, and also a debate, which was hosted in April.  The two questions posed:

Should education on condoms be removed from the ABC method?

Does sexual education cause more problems than it solves?

The debate was followed with a short presentation by the Kyetume Youth Group.

So far plans for this term include leading the chapel at school with skit and song presentation about personal hygiene and an outing to the Kyetume Health Centre on July 26th for a similar performance.
