A one week campaign aim at sensitizing the public on HIV/AIDS had ended successfully in the West Gonja District of the Northern Region.
The campaign which was organized by ADRA was basically aimed at deepening education on the menace of HIV/ AIDS and to emphasize on the importance and the need for people to adopt preventive measures against the disease.
The campaign started on 11th May, 2011 and ended on 15th May, 2011.
Video shows and discussion were used as communication strategies to convey the message to the people.
The campaign covered ten communities in the district.
However it is expected that more communities will be covered in the second face of the programme.
Reactions from parents indicated that the programme was very educative for them and their wards. Most of the youth also expressed their joy about some of the things they have been exposed to.
They urged stakeholders to come out with more of such programmes to increase their knowledge about the disease.
