The South East District Youth Empowerment League (SEDYEL) with the Kicking AIDS out Network will be running participatory debriefing sessions on the 16th and 17th February 2008 as a follow-up to the Sexual Health Training workshop that was conducted last year in Botswana.

SEDYEL Hosts 3rd Annual Kicking AIDS Out Championships
As SEDYEL will also be hosting their 3rd Annual Kicking AIDS Out Championship Tournament on the 1st of March 2008 in Botswana, the master trainers will also take this opportunity to design implementation strategy to integrate Kicking AIDS Out into the existing activities at SEDYEL focusing on the tournament and at the same time touch base on perceptions and longer term behaviour impacts. This year’s tournament will also be marking the Month of Youth Against AIDS Celebrations in the South East District Region, as March has been designated by the Government of Botswana as the month in which all HIV and AIDS interventions in the country will focus on sensitizing and involving the youth in the fight against HIV and AIDS. SEDYEL will be working with the District AIDS Multi-sectoral Committee and other community organization to deliver this year’s activities.
