In the course of our cooperation with ICCA – Capeverdean institute for children and adolescents – a psychologist from this institute came to the center in order to talk about early pregnancy with the adolescents of our different programs. After a short powerpoint presentation there was a excited discussion. Some of the opinions of the adolescents – mainly from the male boys – proofed impressively the importance of this event.
Even if there are not as many young mothers in Cape Verde as a few decades ago, the issue is prevailing and we will continue organise events to this subject.
