On the 28th of July we had a Forum meeting with 3 organizations (Philisa, Mdumbi and Siyakhula) as well as with Caroline and Grace. Caroline said there was money for the hbc kits and for office equipment for Mdumbi.
Philisa had an opening day on the 30th of July. It was a big awareness campaign. Community members were being tested for HIV because the prevention team was also doing a campaign. Grace handed out the Temba certificates and Santa training certificates to show that these hbcarers have been trained. Social workers from Ngqeleni, Mzomtosho children's home, Thembelitshe children's home, small project foundation and other stake holders were there. Schools and OVC groups were singing and dancing. It was a beautiful day.
Siyakhula was having a workshop with NACOSA as they are going to start a new program of prevention with teenagers in schools. They are going to start this program from September 2010 to August 2011.
Mdumbi is busy trying to get proof of having a site for the land for their office. They need equipment and kits. Anna, who is volunteering for Transcape, is working to help Mdumbi get their NPO certificate.
On the 9th of August we had a nice women's day with Carina, the missionary's wife at Canzibe. We talked with 12-14 year old girls about teenage pregnancy and HIV/AIDS.
