Purpose of the visit at Bulyowa primary school. Today, Manuela went Bulyowa primary school to do corrections on the previous pre test done , introduce all the Topic and explains the lessons in Life Skills curriculum. This exercise is aimed at enabling the students to understand all what they are going to learn in Life Skills programs. Manuela reached the school and went direct to the the class where students had gathered waiting for her, she greeted them and told them that today, they are going to review the pre test then they will also get to know all the lessons in Life Skills program. Manuela was joined with the school Life Skills teacher, mr. Peter, Manuela would ask the students questions and the students tried to answer but for the questions that they failed to answer, Manuela would answer and explains to them clearly. While Manuela was encouraging the students to try, one of the students asked Manuela that” can she give an answer in her local language “ Manuela told her yes, but it would also be good to try in English because when she sets the post tests, she will set in English even their regular subjects lessons. Manuela encouraged students to practice speaking English so that they don’t get challenges while answering their test. After that, Manuela explained all the topic in Life Skills and also explained all the lessons under life skills curriculum. While Manuela was explaining lessons, some students asked her questions about the certain lessons for example, like the lessons on HIV, that won’t that lesson make some students who are HIV positive feel bad. Manuela said no, actually it will help them gain knowledge about HIV, fight stigma and learn to live positively without any problem.
