This week we finally put on our northern regional HIVaids PEPFAR workshop. As the point person, I am glad to say WE ARE DONE!
We spent months putting together presentations. I spent months organizing. A big part of my heart and soul went into this project. Thank you to everyone who participated. We did good.
Every participant was given a bag with our logo. Inside we gave out condoms, dildos, pamphlets and instructions on how to give a condom demonstration. We are changing the face of HIV in Nicaragua.
Speakers from ASONVIHSIDA, an organization of individuals who are HIV+, spoke and gave their testimonials.
Nicaraguan counterparts who have never worked in HIVaids got up infront of the entire workshop to present their thoughts on discrimination and stigma and how these influence HIV rates.
We even had an all male youth group from Esteli come. For an evening activity they produced and performed a play on HIV stigma in a typical Nicaraguan community.
