Dear Don Spicer,

On November 2, 2000, I conducted an HIV/AIDS workshop for my five primary schools' teachers. The workshop focused on the immune system and how HIV attacks it. It also taught the teachers about the disease progression and how HIV develops into AIDS. This workshop was very informative to them, as the information mainly being taught is how HIV is transmitted and how to prevent yourself from getting it. The five teachers who participated in this hand-on workshop benefited greatly from the information being presented.

FOL contributed to the success of this workshop by donating R122 for photocopying the immune system, disease progression, and cure or treatment lesson plans. The lesson plans came from the new Peace Corps Life Skills manual. It was necessary to have funding for photocopying since the Peace Corps office is unable to provide this service due to the large quantity needed and the unreliableness of their machines. Unfortunately not as many teachers came as I had expected. Therefore the left over copies were donated back to FOL (Lesotho) for another PCV to request and use.

Thank you so much for FOL's contribution. Because of your support my teachers now have the materials and lesson plans to re-teach these lessons to their students.
