Somali producer Mukhtar Gaaddasaar is back! This time, he takes the audience on a journey to learn about sexually transmitted diseases. He explores social attitudes and risk factors that Somalis may face during frank conversations with Somali university students and fellow radio and tv host Zuhur Ahmed. To find out accurate health information, Mukhtar has interviewed renowned Somali doctor Abdirahman Mohamed. The program explores peer pressure, communication between parents and teens, and even the roles of culture and Islamic practice.

For teachers of Somali English learners there is a free STD Discussion Guide available for download as a PDF. Read more about it . . .
