This activity is conducted under the Municipal-wide ARH project implemented by Polomolok Task Force Kalusugan (PTFK) which aims to raise the level of awareness of teenage groups regarding adolescent sexuality, reproductive health and the prevention of STI/HIV/AIDS and ultimately help these young people change their behaviour regarding sex and learn to be responsible adolescents.
