Since the last report BFF has been very actively searching for funds
nationally and internationally in order to organize the HIV/SEX
Education camp for youth next summer. In doing this a series of
planning meetings have been held by BFF members to plan for the next
camp in order to ensure its success.
We have equally been involved in sensitizing the population towards
this camp. This sensitization is done through the the organization of
other HIV/AIDS workshops in which we involved community and
institutional leaders from across our division (Boyo). These leaders
have been trained on Men As Partner (MAP) to fight the HIV/AIDS
pandemic in our community. This workshop has been organize with funds
from PEPFAR through the Peace Corps Volunteer grant called VAST.Those
trained have to act as trainers in their institutions and communities
in order to raise the awareness of the pandemic in their communities
and rally youth to become involve in the fight. These activities will
act as a prelude to our forth-coming camp next summer.
In addition to this many other preparatory workshops are due to be
organised in the days ahead in order to mobilize the youth from all
the communities of Boyo division. We keep trusting that more funds
will be received in order to facilitate the organization of this camp,
which we think will a very grand event. We thank all those who have
been supporting us in this venture by contributing in whatever way to
support these vulnerable population in our community.
Accept my best and warmest regards.
