We explained the meal and gave some information about the AIDS epidemic before the movie. |

| Lessons/suggestions | The preparation of the porridge was a little difficult and wasn't as appealing as it could have been to potential attendees. It was cooked the night before and solidified over night. It should probably have been prepared just before the event. |
