Elder Eduardo Ventura

Elder Eduardo Ventura, selected at age 19 is a Ladino high school teacher at his family’s private school in Rio Dulce. While the school does not have a sex education curriculum, Elder has researched sexuality and reproductive health on his own and shares this information with his students in the hope of reducing the high rates of adolescent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, school desertion and single motherhood in the region. He is an intern at a local radio station in Rio Dulce, where he hopes to create a sex education radio program geared toward youth. Elder is completing a BA in Humanities at the University of San Carlos in nearby Morales.
