A team from Comet Champs came to Kafue Day on Saturday 5th May to provide Volunteer Counseling and Testing. Part of the Never Give Up Football League program is the sensitization on HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness, so the presence of VCT made the peer educators` activities even more special and relevant as the participants and the spectators could find out their HIV status.
Need To Know bands were distributed to all those who accessed the VCT. Most football players left the ground proudly wearing the band, excited and empowered thanks to the counseling and advice received by the peer educators and counselors.
Regina Chipwele, coach of the Chiparamba team as well as Kafue Day ground coordinator, reports: “We appreciated the presence of Champs who were doing the VCT. The youths after being advised on abstinence willingly went for testing of their status. Well done organizers!”
