Social worker's day!

Social Workers' Day falls on the 20th of this month calendar, and our fellow social work friends are busy preparing for it, meanwhile there is also a social work recruitment drive in our school to promote social work and also to recruit new members to the society. There is this jumbo jigsaw puzzle which is made up of many magnetic cards with meaningful codes on them. Lie beneath is some pictures of social work related activities and programs that we had done for our project, programs etc. This is the code that I have taken. I feel that it is really meaningful.

Today urban youth lecture is really interesting, really love Ms Nair, she never fails to inspire me with her stories and her jokes! Today's topic is about sexuality, she mentioned that it is important for the social worker to be comfortable to talk about sex if he or she is going to deal with sexuality issues. Also many questions that we have not thought of may also be raised. One need to be able to handle the situation well. I like one of the examples that she have told us this afternoon that one of the primary school students have posed. I shall name him student A.

Student A: I have a question to ask.
Teacher/Social Worker: Yes, go ahead.
Student A: Why is the penis called a penis?
Upon hearing this question how do you think we should respond? Hmm a teacher oriented answer would be, "Then in your opinion what do you think?"
Student A: Hmmm, I think it is called a penis because it look like a pen!
hahaha
