Joongyu Song ’13

I interned in Nakuru, Kenya at REPACTED, a community-based organization that uses theatre as a medium of outreach to bring about behavior change in the community regarding issues in sexual health. Through its outreaches, REPACTED both challenges misconceptions about sexually transmitted diseases and encourages members in the community to be proactive in preventing such diseases. I, along with a fellow Princeton student Derek Gideon, completed surveys of the target audience in an attempt to analyze the effectiveness of these outreaches in actually effecting behavior change. We are currently writing a report based on the collected data.
