Mrs. Doris Opuni Owusu, a volunteer nurse for the Health, Education, and Entrepreneurship Development (H.E.E.D.) Foundation gave a lecture on the topic sex education (teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease) at the SDA school in Suhum, a town and the capital of the Suhum/Kraboa/Coaltar district, a district in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The students together with some of their teachers assembled in a classroom to listen to Mrs. Owusu as she delivered the comprehensive lectures.
She involved the students by asking them questions to find out their knowledge on the topic. She then used demonstrations, charts, and other materials to make it more understandable and interesting to the participants.
