"I am an active health promotor, within

dance4life and other projects that

address the same issues. I participate in

the Youth Network on Health, where we

offer cultural activities by integrating

content on sexual and reproductive

health and HIV prevention.

It makes me feel useful to promote the

issues, and so to increase the awareness

of young people. I think that peer

education, from youth to youth, is very

successful because young people are

interested in joining these activities and to

be trained as health promoters."
