Juliana, Southeast PA

Everyone likes house parties…so what could be better than a SEX ED house party? The Southeast Interns hosted one at Haverford College last week. We publicized it through Facebook, had to reschedule once because of thunderstorms (what else is new?) but ended up having a very fun and successful evening! We managed to obtain over 25 signatures on our petitions for comprehensive sex ed. We also had a bunch of activities. First was a piñata filled with candy and condoms, but it was hit open on the second try – unfortunately, the participant in question was a baseball player. We also played Sex Ed Quizzo to educate guests about our political work in Pennsylvania, and we offered “Women’s Health Matters” T-shirts as prizes! Two of our supervisors, Alisa and Audrey, surprised us by showing up – needless to say, they won the Quizzo game, but graciously agreed to relinquish their trophies. Finally, we had a condom blowing-up contest – whoever could fill a condom with the most air and tie it off would win. However, the contest quickly converted into a game of condom volleyball. The Southeast interns also showed off our cooking skills – we made homemade spicy bean dip, hummus, salsa, and lemonade. All in all, it was a great way to involve our friends in the work we’ve been doing all summer – we highly suggest hosting one in your area!
