Prescription for Hope offers workshops to church leaders of various backgrounds to teach them how to develop positive, nondiscriminatory, culturally relevant approaches to HIV/AIDS in their communities.
Members of the Casa Hogar team attended this 3 day workshop/conference presented by Samaritans Purse. During this workshop we were presented with: numerous facts and statistics about HIV-AIDS, how to work within a support group, and the impact HIV-AIDS has on children and orphans.
Current Statistics:
*350 people die worldwide every hour due to the HIV-AIDS virus.
*14,000 people worldwide are infected every day.
* 5 million people are infected per year. 66,000 of those infected are from Honduras.
