After the successful realisation of workcamps on the topic of STDs/HIV/AIDS in the last four years, ASTOVOT continues to sensitize people in the villages with discussions, games and theatre plays on this theme. At the end of the work camp, the volunteers and the young people of the village will put a theatre play on stage together. Also, the volunteers will prepare young people of the village to further educate kids in the schools on the topic of STDs/HIV/AIDS after the camp has finished. The volunteers can provide themselves with condoms, fémidom and with posters for the campaign.

« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
