We were given an approval to organize workshops at three zones of Education District iii. We held the workshop for Lagos Island/Etiosa Zone at St, George’s Girls School Falomo, Ikoyi on 18th October, 2006.

The workshop was aimed at inculcating in the female students the discipline needed to become responsible women in the society.

The program started at 10.30a.m with the registration of the girls and at 11.10a.m. the workshop commenced with an opening prayer. The courses for the workshop are as follow:

Ø Etiquette
Ø Sexual Abuse, its causes and prevention.
Ø Personal Hygiene
Ø Power of Choice

ATTENDANCE:
An attendance of two hundred and sixty-five students (265), and twelve (12) teachers was recorded with an average of nineteen (19) students each from all fourteen (14) schools in attendance. Also in attendance were Three (3) officials of the Local Government Education District iii. The participating schools involve the following;

FEEDBACK:
We had a very participatory question and answer section whereby most of the students asked questions ranging from Personal Hygiene, Etiquette to their Power in making choices. Also, we got a lot of questions from Sexual Abuse, and even though we didn’t give out questionnaires, we gathered by our question bank that a lot of the students had issues bothering on Sexual Abuse. We however counseled some of them after the workshop and encouraged others to open Email boxes and send us mails or call for counsel on any of our numbers found on the jotters given to them. They were also encouraged to open up to some of their trusted teachers.

CHALLENGES:
We had challenges of some logistics as it pertains to chairs and tables. This was due to the fact that we couldn’t get enough chairs.
