Zambian Report on IIFWP HIV/AIDS Project

The presentation is based mainly on the most successful existing curriculums and slide projections already being used in Africa and a number of other places.

Both the curriculum and the lecture charts have been developed and produced by a team working under Dr. Kwak's close supervision.These are 40 colorful page laminated flip charts, which were shipped to Lagos and distributed to the participants at the meeting.

This project as come just at the right time especially here in the Southern part of Africa, where many people are victims of AIDS. The numbers of AIDS cases are always on the increase not in hundreds, but millions.

Zambia being one of the 12 countries involved in this project, the lectures have proved to be very helpful in making people understand the damage and dangers of HIV/AIDS and also learn how one can prevent and protect one self from AIDS.

Here in Zambia most of the victims of AIDS are the youths, therefore our target group is mostly the youths and with these flip charts we are able to lecture in Universities, Colleges and High schools very easily. The response as been so great everywhere we have been teaching, as you can see from the photos.We are really so grateful for these HIV/AIDS flip charts.

On January 24th 2002, five secondary schools attended a lecture on HIV/ADIS at Modern High School. The number of those in attendance was 120. At the end of the lecture there was a proposal from the attendees that HIV/AIDS clubs be opened at these five schools.

On the 25th of January 2002 we had a meeting on HIV/AIDS (Living AIDS free) with the Mayor of Ndola City and three members of Parliament, to see how the Local Authority can be able to fund this project which they promised to seriously look into, because they also felt the project was very important for the citizens.The Mayor invited us to use their public hall to hold seminars and workshops for HIV/AIDS, which is very encouraging for us.
