Notes
Purpose of the visit, Manuela went to this village to review the previous lesson then teach the participants about Cure or Treatment. This lesson is aimed at educating participants to understand that there is no cure for AIDS but three is Treatment so that they can take good care of them selves. Manuela met few participants on that day simply because it rained on the previous day and most of them had gone to their gardens to plant beans, as they were coming for the meeting, Manuela had finished to teach the few who were around since it was threatening to rain. Manuela asked one of the participants review the previous lesson, Isabreye did so, few participants managed to share their ideas, after that Manuela introduced the lesson of the day, Manuela asked participants questions, what is Cure , no response from the participants around , after few minutes one of the participants said that it means when an individual is completely free from the disease which an individual was suffering from, after that Manuela asked participants questions that, what is Treatment, one lady called Florence said that it means when the disease is still there but when individuals is still having the pain. Then one of the participants added that disease like HIV/AIDS, most positive people are on treatment for HIV. While Manuela was explaining about Cure or Treatment, one of the participant called isabriye said that he has something to say about his behavior change since Manuela and Lorna started to teach about HIV/ AIDS, he said that, this HIV lessons has helped him to get off stigma which was disturbing him, this man said that before this lesson, he would think that he is gone, he is no more. After that Manuela encouraged him to continue coming for Life Skills lessons, Manuela told him to encourage other people who are HIV positive to also come and attend so that they can live positively. After that, Manuela asked the participants questions about well being sector, that will enable them to live longer while living with HIV Virus, some participants were able to share their ideas participants suggested answers like , eating well balanced diet food, doing daily exercise, having enough rest, praying etc, Manuela also added some well being sectors referring to the spiritual well-being, General Healthy well being, Social well being,physical well-being and psychological well-being.
