We have had an exciting spring and summer! Our adolescent clients in 4 different AMPATH sites organized Adolescent Fun days. At the Eldoret site, we had 130 clients attend the festivities which included games, a question and answer session, and motivational speakers! Clients shared their struggles taking medications at school, questions regarding relationships, and desire for a cure. This event enhanced the foundation of peer support which is so vital in adolescents, especially those living with HIV. Those in attendance (and many more) are the adolescents who will be using our new clinic and be our peer leaders!
After going through the quotations and bidding process, we secured the company, Watalamu, to do the renovations. Watalamu is an enterprise within Family Preservation Initiative of AMPATH. Currently, the needed renovation material is undergoing procurement. In the meantime, the adolescents are all anxiously waiting for their separate space. With your generosity, we were able to support the minimum for starting renovations (YAY!). We are continuing to ask for you generous support and promotion to friends, family, and relatives. You are laying the groundwork for adolescents to recieve exceptional comprehensive adolecent services.
Asante Sana!
