The long expected update!

I'm back, stop the applause, you're embarrasing me!

Me and my fellow THT volunteer moved to Oxford about three weeks ago, and we've already made our landlord get us a new shower system. And the clothes airer in the house is rubbish, so I bought a new one. And I'm getting the money back! :D
The lawn looked more like a jungle when we moved in, so I mowed it. With an electrical lawn mower.
Jungle+electrical lawn mower=angry Per spending one hour more than needed on the lawn.
But the landlord was surprised when she stopped by. Always nice to make someone happy :)
She told us she usually calls a gardener to do that, with a petrol mower, before the new people moves in to the house, but she hasn't had the time. But the gardener is still coming, not only to mow the lawn, but also to trim the hedges :D. We then get a fresh start with normally grown garden, and not a jungle to fix with electrical equipment.

The office we will be working in the coming year is in the middle of Oxford, and that's about 15 minutes with the bus from our house! And we don't have to pay for the bus, we are provided with a monthly bus card from work!
The passed two weeks we have been getting to know the people around the office, and what kind of work the THT do.
The people working here are great! Easy to talk to, no tight a**es at all :D

We were on a sexual health delivery at a house for homeless people. Me and my vol(unteer) friend were sitting with the other people attending the delivery, and followed to get to know how a standrard delivery works.
Pictures of what can happen to a persons genitals with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) were shown, and prejudices about many STI's were followed up and confirmed or just thrown in the bin. A good discussion about what reactions different people can have when infected were held, and though we were there for a good two hours, I believe some people attending would have liked further discussions.
It seems the THT rwally opens peoples eyes. I love it.

Can't wait to start doing some work!

My vol friends will be working in the Young people's office. The people there work mainly with opening eyes of young people on STI's and providing support for infected youngsters.

I will be working with the Gay mens team, and we do more or less the same thing for gay men.
"Go out to clubs, throwing condoms at people and just be there for people who would like to chat" is a sentence that tells about one part of our work in the Gay Mens Team. My supervisor likes to use that sentence alot :)
