Q&A booklets.<br />

Before the session, create an information table where people can access<br />

information about local <strong>is</strong>sues. It might be worth v<strong>is</strong>iting local NGOs for<br />

leaflets <strong>and</strong> the CDC for health related information. Include VSO’s <strong>HIV</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>AIDS</strong> Q&A booklet. Make sure the area <strong>is</strong> in a convenient location which<br />

people can access.<br />

30 minutes 1. Ask the group to d<strong>is</strong>cuss what development means to them.<br />

2. Ask the group to d<strong>is</strong>cuss what <strong>is</strong>sues they feel prevents or slows<br />
