HIV/AIDS Awareness presentation LA

We had the opportunity to do a HIV/AIDS awareness presentation for the Los Angeles County Women and Children's centre for HIV and AIDS.  Our audience included paediatricians, medical research staff, care givers etc. We were able to present  the work that we have been doing in South Africa and share information about HIV/AIDS  that is unique to Southern Africa. The  staff were very impressed with our work and the success we are having. We also presented them with the  HIV/AIDS book that we have produced for primary school students which they would like to use for the children in their care center and showed them some clips of the HIV/AIDS dramas that we do in schools. A number of the medical staff would like to come to South Africa to help volunteer with our projects. We were also able to glean valuable information and ideas from their care center.
