My experience at the 2015 Student Peer Educator’s workshop at Gayaza High School by Aguteit Susan Chemtai

It was on Saturday when I left home (Tororo) for a Student Peer Educators workshop in Gayaza. On my way to the venue, I experienced a lot. I realized how hard it is to travel alone to a place where I had never been before. I found out that the journey was too long from what I thought. I also experienced difficulty with communicating to the boda-boda people in Gayaza town.

When I reached Gayaza High school at 4:00pm on Saturday, I experienced the silent, conducive environment was friendly and I had to figure out how to interact with students of different schools on the same day. During the night hours, I experienced that Gayaza was so cold and had a number of mosquitoes. That very day I noticed that the students I met were so friendly, free, loving, and active.

On the first day of the workshop which was on Sunday, in the morning I experienced the cold of Gayaza that was too much for me.
The love, care the facilitators showed to us was one of the experiences that made me feel comfortable and happy as well.

As days went on, I started adjusting to the environment like improving on my behaviors because I experienced that the people I found in Gayaza had different behaviors which made me enjoy the place more and more. I also realised that in Gayaza the people living in there love peaceful environment. The facilitators of the workshop are open minded people interested in helping us to correct our faults and always encouraging us to do right things and to learn to be responsible people.

What I expected at the workshop is not what I really is not what I really show. The experience of teaching that was done by the facilitators was real different from what I thought and that from my teachers. The experience of work we did was much more different from that we get normally at school. The exposures to ICT were experiences for first time in many students’ lives.

I came to realize that during the course of the workshop which made me also gain more interest to learn more and help and teach others what I knew.

During the days I have so far spent at the workshop venue, I have come to learn a lot and experienced that a lot is also required from us by the facilitators like respect, determination, hard work, change in our lives. I also learnt from the inspirational talks that were given to us by some of the facilitators, which we are required to start laying foundations of our own life and to help our fellow peers in school, to also have light and a way to where they are going. Therefore, the workshop is a very good developmental one.
