Dear all i take this opportunity to inform you on the activities we are doing related to our project Rwanda Interuniversity VCT Campaign Project where VCT means Voluntary Counseling and Testing on HIV and AIDS.
To our project we have started to make contacts to the participants university students leaders and starting to meet with different companies working on HIV in order to ask them together during the preparation and implementation of that project, where we are working with LUCS which is a University league on HIV and AIDS control in the National University of Rwanda and now we are in contacts with the leaders of University Teaching Hospitals which promised us that during the implementation of that project, when the University students coalition on HIV and AIDS control will be set up that they will given them the office of work at the beginning. According to the Coalition forum of university students will be founded during the implementation of that project now i am approaching other health students such as medical students to work with us for better preparation and implementation.
We take this opportunity to thank all the donors of our project, sponsors and the people who are doing the day to night for fundraising of our project and we promise all of them that the fundraised money will be used for better services of our community and voluntarism as well as weekly report to all the donors during the implementation of the project.
