I used to conduct peer education in my league field. Then my efforts were recognized and I become a peer educator in the MTG in-school programme. My self esteem was low. I was afraid. During my first session, I really struggled but the second and the third, I found it easier with support from my partner, a more experienced peer educator. Later in the year I was allocated to two schools and I did it confidently. In my community, girls come to me for counselling. In one of the schools there was a girl who was pregnant.</p> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-expiration-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Expiration date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">9 November 2015 - 11:49am</span> </div> </div> </div> 767 at http://www.mtgk.org Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:59:06 +0000 http://www.mtgk.org/news/mtg-shortlisted-beyond-sport-unicef-safeguarding-children-sport-award-2015 <div style="width:100px;" class="image-attach-teaser"><a rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mtgk.org/sites/default/files/images/Logo on white.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Logo on white.jpg" title="Logo on white.jpg" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="46"/></a></div> <p align="center"><strong>BEYOND SPORT AWARDS 2015, SUPPORTED BY COMIC RELIEF SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Beyond Sport is delighted to announce the Official Shortlist for the Beyond Sport Awards 2015, supported by Comic Relief.</p> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-expiration-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Expiration date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">9 November 2015 - 9:57am</span> </div> </div> </div> 765 at http://www.mtgk.org Tue, 11 Aug 2015 07:05:12 +0000 http://www.mtgk.org/news/invitation-7th-annual-moving-goalposts-girls-tournament <div style="width:100px;" class="image-attach-teaser"><a rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.mtgk.org/sites/default/files/images/DSC01679_0.thumbnail.JPG" alt="DSC01679.JPG" title="DSC01679.JPG" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75"/></a></div> <p>Moving the Goalposts is organizing the 7th annual MTG Girls' tournament for players in the under 16 years age category (born on or after 1st January 1999) and the age category between 16 and 25 years (born between 1st January 1990 and 31st December 1998).
