Now we have heard it all. A course for sex workers? Yes, we kid you not. 22 Prostitutes participated in a UN sponsored programme and graduated on Thursday from the skills training programme put on by Heather Little-White and Associates and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).


The male and females sex workers were exposed to cosmetology, housekeeping, culinary skllls in the course which began in September.


A sum of $1.2million was donated by UNAIDS toward the initiative.
The good thing about the whole deal is that the sex workers can now abandon their former profession and live off their new training.
The graduation ceremony was packed with motivational speeches and performances from Joan Andrea Hutchinson, Queen Ifrica, Tony Rebel and others.


“You are teaching me that there are people in Jamaica who still want good. People who have high hopes and big ambitions,” said Rebel, “Government need to come talk to Heather, why? Because this is a new method of fixing a problem in the country, if we want to fix our society now, we can’t just use the same old time method”.


Hutchinson told the graduates: “You have two choices, you can sit down and wait for things to happen or you can do something about it. What is commendable is that all of you inside here have chosen to do something about it”.


“You see the concept of putting limits on yourself, don’t let anybody put any limits on you. You put that limit on yourself,” she added.


Yardflex wishes them success on the new path they have taken.
