April 16th
Day three of our workshop. Today, I presented a session on Project Proposals and Budgets. It’s our hope that these people can use these skills upon their return to the Congo…
Today, I also attended a meeting of the HIV/AIDS taskforce, which is made up of representatives of the NGOs in the camp and local community groups. Three HIV positive people came to speak to us and share their experiences. It was a real eye opener for me as I’ve never known any seropositive people. The idea is to present these people to the community in the hopes that others will have the courage to come forward and seek help and treatment. I hope to be able to take a role in this taskforce in our goal of sensitizing the community about HIV/AIDS.
