Resident children took part in a week-long workshop by Karol & Setha, an acronym for "Knowledge And Reflection on Life and Sexuality Through a Holistic Approach." The program is designed for adolescents between the ages of 15 and 18 to link critical thinking with a clear understanding of sexuality within the context of relationships. This course is not an everyday anatomy class, but works with adolescents on issues such as identity, peer pressure, communication, sexual intercourse and elements of a lasting and loving relationship. Four Khmer trainers led the workshop, working to correct common myths and taboos in Cambodian culture about these issues. Aziza's Place always works to find ways to provide the tools that will give our young adults the opportunity to prepare themselves to make healthy decisions and to have positive relationships.
