HAMU Awarded Certificate to Graduating Students of Anti- AIDS Club Members
HAMU certified 3 female and 27 male Graduating students of Anti-AIDS club members on July 7, 2015. The students were certified after taking a two days training on Workplace HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming and Effective Networking. These students have been actively participating in trainings, community conversations, panel discussions and other programs offered by HAMU during their stay in the University.
It is the conviction of HAMU that the students have acquired the necessary knowledge, skill and attitude to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on their community. The training they took on Workplace HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming is supposed to help them to initiate and/or strengthen mainstreaming in the organization they are working. During the training most of the trainees reveal that their organization hardly started mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in the workplace. They also stated that while they return they will be able to use the knowledge they acquired to foster the task of mainstreaming.
The two days trainings were delivered by Mr. Anteneh Mekonnen and Ms. Kumneger Fikre, Research and Coordination Officer and Social Mobilization and Mainstreaming Expert of HAMU respectively.
Ms. Wubalem Arefaine, Head of HAMU, awarded the certificates to the trainees after reminding them to shoulder the responsibility of sharing what they learned in the various trainings to their community especially to play a crucial role in mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in their workplace.
