What did you like most about the workshop?

It brought sense of responsibility and understanding to educators.
Educator, Shorwane

The material was well presented. Capable facilitator. Enough files and material to go around.
M.Pieterse, Steelpoort Academy

It encouraged me to teach learners about the stigma which they think it is a myth to them. It also brainstorm me through this stigma and also remove the fear of it.
Educator, Ngwaabe Sec

I gained more information about HIV/AIDS. It focuses on how people should look after themselves and that one should stick to his or her decisions.
Educator, Sengange Sec

Making me aware of how the immune system is affected by this virus. Having knowledge of how the virus can be transmitted.
Senamela, N.B. Ngwanangwato Sec

I gained knowledge about HIV/Aids; I learnt to motivate and to encourage anyone who is HIV positive. Able to teach learners to accept themselves.
Mafahla Lipson, Makopole II Sec

I liked the fact that some of the things I was told about HIV people were myths and that I now fully understand the courses of HIV and how to protect myself.
