In October 2022 we hosted a CoHFT in Hyderabad, India with our key partner ministry Jeevanam. We had 20 participants, 17 from India and 3 from Nepal. It was a tremendously thought provoking and meaningful time as together we discussed and interacted on some of the challenges.
This is what a couple of the participants had to say at the conclusion of the training:
“After Channels of hope training we are burdened to work among people living with HIV. We are really touched in our hearts through this training. So now we are going to do ground work in our city and region.”
“I'm working for HIV infected widows and children. We have 800 widows waiting for Rice and groceries. But right now we are focusing 200 widows and HIV infected 50 children and we are running free tuition center for Gypsy community children in 8 rural village and free sewing training center for women.”
“This training made me be me, in my original format as opposed to my nature in my judgemental society.”
In India: We had a 1 day CoH workshop together with 2 of the recent CoHFT ‘graduates’ who serve with the Human Rights Office in Hyderabad. This was very well received and participants were greatly challenged and encouraged! Since January 2023 we have conducted 2 workshops. One was with 30 village “Grandmas” and the other was on Women’s Day, March 8th, where 66 ladies attended. They were really amazing to know more about HIV & AIDS.
