Learner Comments “having cool teachers during the programme is nice, we can ask them things that we couldn’t ask our teachers and parents” “The programme was interesting because we learned many things like what to expect with our bodies” “I want a certificate that I can show my friends at home that this is where I found my information” I want the programme to come back again and check on us in a few years”
