Educational Meeting with a local church

The Education Team

On Sunday October 5th, the Casa Hogar Educational Team gave a presentation to a local church in Choluteca. Many people in Choluteca know very little about HIV/AIDS. Therefore, one of Casa Hogar's roles against HIV/AIDS is the elimination of discrimination of those suffering from the virus and to stop the spread of the HIV virus. The education team is dedicated to visit local communities, workplaces, colleges and schools giving advice about HIV/AIDS.

After Ian and Loren shared the vision of CHV, Elly Sanchez gave an informational presentation about HIV/AIDS. He shared about the virus itself: what a virus is, the origins of HIV, the stages of development of HIV, and treatment of HIV. He also talked about stigma and discrimination, how the virus can be caught, and how the virus cannot be caught. Lastly, that abstinence is the best option to not catch HIV.

He finished the night with opening the floor to questions and answers. Many people asked questions about the basics of HIV/AIDS. It was a really beneficial time to share the reality of HIV/AIDS with many people of all different ages.
