NAME: James N. Njoroge
REGION: Central
COURSE: HIV & AIDS Counselling
After the training in 2008 on HIV/AIDS at Meru, I left there very much changed on how to involve myself in helping the victims and stigmatized. It was after the training i called together the church pastors and key church leaders i.e. women/youth, children workers among others.
I invited the medical workers who were involved in sensitizing the community on HIV/AIDS and we all addressed ourselves on the following:-
- Knowledge on HIV/AIDS
- How one can be affected
- Who are the most vulnerable
- How to identify the victim and help them to live even with HIV & AIDS and be effective
- How to get rid of stigma from them – showing them (the victim) that they are important even among others.
That meeting had a great impact among those church workers in that report we got later was that they held similar forums in their localities.
