Wan Smolbag has a number of peer educators who work across a range of client bases within this

organizaGon. Considerable Gme was spent by Steve Badman orientaGng them to the nature and

importance of the study being conducted. This has benefited the study significantly in several ways,

including awillingness on the part of educators to explain themale or female informaGon sheets to

clients waiGng to see clinic nurses. This has allowed clients to think in advance about the potenGal

August 12, 2009 Director Wan Smolbag Theatre Group Vanuatu Dear Joanne Dorras I am writing to confirm that the material that is produced by Wan Smolbag is educational and in line with the Solomon Islands Education Curriculum.
