 These items are being sorted into self-care packages destined for those most in need. They were donated to the Division of Youth by private and public partners for distribution in workshops like this one. Whatever you want that person to be, it is not a class so you don't be judge on your drawings. A series on sexual health and planned parenthood conducted by youth workers advocating for positive change in the lives of young people like themselves. At these workshops, topics such as self-care, self-love, personal hygiene, teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence and healthy relationships will be covered. These topics were chosen because we see a dire need for them within our communities and among our young people. So at the end of every workshop, we give them a self-care package which consists of toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, soap and personal items that will help them take care of themselves on a day-to-day basis. Keshia and Venej, who are members of the youth power group YPG, see the information gained during the session is vital for learning and the personal development. We were able to learn about the GBV which is gender-based violence that has been happening in different countries as well as our country here in St. Lucia. It was a very, very amazing presentation because I was able to learn enough about things that are going on in that country much more and even the laws that are there. The youth division is ensuring their adequate programs in the communities to benefit young persons. Director of Youth Mary Wilfred stressed the importance of reaching the youth at the grassroots level. And so with the implementation of the youth workers program, we have about 22 young people in communities who are serving as field workers. And so they report the needs of young people because communities are different. Some communities are more into culture, some are more into music. Different communities have different needs. They would pass that on to us and we would respond through the appropriate programs. Matters ranging from youth unemployment, psychosocial challenges and homelessness are just some of the issues faced by a division hoping to transform the lives of youth by better equipping them with the knowledge and coping skills.
