Twenty-eight students from eight local schools completed the two-day CAP Sudan decision-making and HIV awareness training on Saturday, in preparation for World AIDS Day. Nine teachers were also certified to teach the basic CAP Sudan curriculum in their schools.
Topics discussed on the last day included AIDS transmission and social impact, signs, symptoms, and testing, and caring for people with HIV.
Students from each school put together an action plan for how they would apply the information they had learned in the training and how they would get this information to the others in their school.
Both students and teachers enacted lively dramas of the Good Samaritan and a story of two cattle camps which serves as a parable to show what HIV does to the body’s immune system. The participants are scheduled to perform these dramas tomorrow in the main square of Rumbek as part of the AIDS Day festivities.
