Alive Medical Services Celebrates Child’s Day
Alive Medical Services in Kampala, Uganda hosts a “Child’s Day” at the end of every month, inviting all young patients and their families for a day of exciting, interactive and educational activities. These events have helped to build a greater community of support among patient families. At the end of August, 370 children participated in Child’s Day. The Alive Medical Services team organized a talent show, and parents and children shared beautiful talents from arts and crafts, music and dance to drama, poems and testimonies. Volunteers and friends of Keep a Child Alive came to help out during the day.
In this photo on the left, Doctor Elizabeth holds a microphone for one child who was brought back to life with anti-retroviral therapy, as he powerfully recites two long poems.
And here on the right, Donald, age 12, recited a poem: AIDS IS A DEADLY ANIMAL.
But we can defeat it by getting HIV counselling and testing,
taking ARVS and becoming a point of HIV prevention.
IT ENDS WITH ME.The day ended with the children joining together in dance!
