Hello everyone!!
Last Sunday, December 1st, the Peace Corps HIV/AIDS task force held an event for World AIDS Day. We did a documentary screening at a theatre in Georgetown and afterwards had a discussion, along with food and live music from a steel drum band. We showed a documentary entitled "Xpress", produced by MTV Latin America and UNICEF that focuses on how violence, poverty, and sexuality contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean. Overall, the event went really well and it was the 1st time that Peace Corps Guyana held an event for World AIDS Day, so that was pretty exciting for us. We also participated in a walk the next morning with the US Embassy and the Ministry of Health. Here is a link to some pictures I took of our event and the walk the next day.
