Execu training was held this past week, for five of our care-givers. This is a course, taught by Thabo, who is a medical doctor (pictured in the front center), which gives a holistic view on dealing with chronic diseases. This addresses not only HIV/AIDS, but high blood pressure, diabetes, STIs, tuberculosis, and high cholesterol as well. Dr. Thabo will continue to be involved with our team as questions come up over the next year. As we begin to do counseling and testing for HIV, we are also going to test for these other chronic diseases in the community. To promote overall health and to reduce the stigma related to HIV. All five members pictured here gave a presentation to the rest of the team on Friday. They did a great job and clearly learned from their training.
