HIV/AIDS AWRENESS SEMINAR ( 28^th August in Kampala District )

Having lost 4 of my relatives to AIDS,  I am inspired to have an open awareness dialogue among youths and students in Uganda on the topic of HIV and AIDS since the epidemic has spreads at a higher rates in this age group. The programmes will set off with an awareness  peaceful  demonstration from the city center to a town hall where we shall then have different speakers and folk musicians talk about the above issue to students which will include but not limited to: Basics of HIV, impact of the disease on the social and economic status of Uganda, Prevention methods, fight against stigma and basic tips on how to take care of HIV/AIDS patients.

I wish you all a very nice summer holiday
