Currently Peace Corps Lesotho gathered 18 Peace Corps Volunteers and Basotho Counterparts from their communities participated in Grassroot Soccer's first ever Peace Corps Lesotho SKILLZ Girl Workshop. Grassroot Soccer is a non-profit organization that uses the power of soccer to fight against HIV by providing young people with knowledge, skills, and support to remain HIV free. It is a simple, but powerful connection between soccer and life that helps young people understand health messages, stay strong when faced with challenges of peer pressure and protect themselves and others from HIV and AIDS. It speaks to youth through a language they know best, soccer. This is especially important to Lesotho as it now has the second highest prevalence rate of HIV in the world. One of the SKILLZ Girl practices asks participants to say NO and mean it in situations where they should feel empowered to do so; an important skill for girls in the fight against HIV/AIDS. I was inspired by the practice and jumped up in front of the group proposing a photography idea. Everyone actively FULLticipated and 36 new GRS SKILLZ Girl coaches proudly gave me their NO, I MEAN IT face. HIV Calendar
