Give Me Another Chance

What news at the GAC project?

It is statistically proven that the life of a person living with HIV/AIDS is significantly influenced by his or her psychological wellbeing. We have seen many people succumb to the AIDS virus, while others live full lives in similar situations. The difference seems to be how they perceive themselves.   Some people experience despair, isolate themselves, and don’t come forward to use the available medical help, culminating in a weaked immune system:     they   succumb more quickly to the virus, with terrible consequences for themselves, their families and the community.

At GAC we  train  people  to have a positive mental attitude and  to forgive and let go of the past and move forward:  they  come to accept the situation they find themselves in, seek appropriate medical support, learn to cope with the stigma they face, let go of the past and build a new future.

Recently we decided to extend our breathing sessions  to cancer survivors.  The results were extrememely encouraging.    We found that. like with our work with HIV/AIDS,   a lot of people were unable to express their feelings  in words and greatly benefitted from being able to  epxress them through our therapeutic breathing sessions.  We are delighted when they shared with us how relaxed, joyful and energetic they felt after  a session with us

We are looking forward to train more   ambassadors with skills and knowledge suitable for working with people with  life-threatening illnesses.   We are applying to an International Trust and looking  for support from  individual  donors to increase our programmes over the next  two years.

Thank you for reading. This is our news  for now. See you again next time. Bye!
