Testing, Training & Living

This Month P3M went to the brothels and places of prostitution giving them free clinical examinations, testing for HIV and other STDs. P3M was unable to go to as many places as they usually can due to it being Ramadan this month, so a few places were closed.  P3M has also recently stumbled apon 6 new places of prostitution possing as spa's and bath houses. Only 2 places would let them in but P3M not wanting to leave anyone behind is still trying to get permission from the owners so they may visit the other 4 places. 



Also this month at the P3M office they held training and activities for girls from USU University in Medan. They were trained in how the P3M organization works and information on HIV & Stds. It was lots of fun and a big success.


P3M House Update:


The woman and her child have been living in the P3M house for almost 2 months. Their family came to visit and where so happy to see they are safe and not living in horrible conditions but are comfortable and safe. Wilda takes them to church on Sundays and has bible study at the house every week. Also Tuesdays we will have English classes for them and for a few other children from the parents who are still in prostitution.

We hope and pray more woman will come out.



What is new with Meri?

She is doing so great! She is getting healthier and is very happy living with Wilda and P3M.
