On the occasion of the World AIDS Day, CAPACITY/PSI conducted a range of information and education campaigns in Bishkek: On 30 November there was a meeting with US Embassy staff, where the representatives of CAPACITY/PSI made presentations on the current situation with HIV/AIDS in the world and, particularly, in Kyrgyzstan and introduced the audience with HIV preventive activities in the country. Moreover, the audience learnt about the origin of HIV-infection and preconditions for the World AIDS Day. The event was followed by an extempore sketch, prepared by CAPACITY/PSI volunteers. On 1 December the volunteers of the Youth Center "Youth Power” held two campaigns, devoted to WAD. The first campaign was conducted in the premise of the Youth Center, with the participation of popular rock-bands and Thai boxing masters with the purpose to advocate music and sport as an alternative to a drug use. More than 300 people were involved in the event. The second campaign was organized in the streets and one of the markets in Bishkek. More than 100 people participated in the action. These two campaigns aimed to inform young people about WAD, the scale of HIV epidemic and ways of HIV transmission. During November the volunteers of CAPACITY/PSI together with the Centers of Family Medicine in Chui Oblast implemented a Month on the occasion of WAD. Within the framework of the Month three information and education campaigns were conducted in a range of Professional – Technical Schools of Chui Oblast (trainings on HIV/AIDS, STI, etc). About 500 young people were engaged in the events. |
