Today was the first day of a 6-day training for HIV-positive women here in Makassar. Some of the women are folks who took part in all these Puskesmas events in which I've been participating (several are pregnant), others already knew of their HIV-status. For the picture below I've purposely chosen a picture with poor lighting and their heads turned, and it won't get big if you click on it, to protect their identities. I'm not a trainer for this training and I've got a lot of stuff to do back at the GC office, so I'll probably just try to spend part of each day at the training, helping out a bit and observing. The training is a "life skills" training to help teach the women how to open their own businesses and such - helpful, if for no other reason that one woman's husband has already died and another is ill.
