Members of the Bahamas Red Cross and
a team of Eleutheran “peer educators” spent the afternoon of January 11
visiting businesses along the streets of Governor’s Harbour, handing out
educational pamphlets on HIV/AIDS prevention and care as well as condoms.
The visit to businesses served as
the ending to a two-day educational training on HIV/AIDS and its prevention,
held with Red Cross representatives and facilitated by members of the Caribbean
HIV/AIDS Project. Twenty-two youth participated in the workshop, which targeted
young adults 18 to 30 years of age, from all backgrounds.
Project coordinator John Darville
states that this project will continue into 2014, with at least three
additional workshops scheduled to be held in the north and south districts for the
same purpose of educating young adults to share HIV/AIDS information with their
peers.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
