A few months ago I started working on a project through the Honduran Red Cross to educate taxi drivers in HIV prevention and stigma reduction associated with HIV/AIDS. I worked with a wonderful woman hired by the Red Cross and we used the Peace Corps’s methodology to work with adult men and it worked splendidly. We started out trying to have meetings but soon realized that working with the taxi drivers in the street at the taxi stop while they waited for their next client worked much better. This week we had a formal “graduation” for all those who had participated. I made a power point presentation and presented our achievements and all the taxi drivers got diplomas. Overall, I was a great project and I am thankful that I was able to be part of it (not to mention free rides).
