Since the launch of the ‘Wize Up HIV/AIDS Initiative’ last Sunday at the City Mall,Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Bud Norris Jersey, the concept of the project seems to have made an impact on teenagers.Although numerous teenagers listened intently to the awareness messages delivered by the Vizion Sound artistes and representatives from the Ministry of Health, they were also eager to get involved in the distribution of condoms and pamphlets containing HIV/AIDS awareness information after the exercise.With many of these youths residing in depressed communities,Jamie Garcia Jersey, the ‘Wize Up’ team is now headed to Albouystown, on November 15,Philadelphia Phillies Michael Saunders Jersey, where it will spread the message of HIV/AIDS prevention and reduction in schools and other institutions.This project is funded by the Ministry of Health through the Guyana HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Project (GHARP),Cleveland Indians Yan Gomes Jersey, and is managed by the Health Sector Development Unit Department,Matt Belisle Jersey, according to Vizion Sounds’ Gail Vieira. Under the theme ‘Wize Up, be HIV/AIDS literate,’ young entertainers will be visiting schools and communities across Guyana, taking the message of abstinence and responsible sexual behaviour to young people.According to one of the executives, the company feels that, having a captive audience of young people, it is their civic responsibility to deliver positive messages to that audience.The project will see the distribution of CDs in schools and villages,Tampa Bay Rays Matt Duffy Jersey, where the likes of artistes Edward Neblett,Joe Blanton Jersey, Ballys,New York Yankees Tyler Clippard Jersey, Alabama, Typheon Abensette,Cincinnati Reds Scott Feldman Jersey, Girlie Persaud and Fojo would be delivering live performances followed by presentations on HIV/AIDS. Abstinence is the main focus of the project, which will run for one year. |
