That’s why we believe that it is important to build up a programme and some educational materials for school teachers and students. It’s important that youngsters who are in the great risks to get infected into HIV/AIDS, will learn how to protect

These topics have already been discussed in the Ministry of Education and Research, as well as with different youth NGO’s dealing with HIV/AIDS related themes and projects. We hope that the schools will find these materials worth for study.
