Naming of Ntshebe Ozols

Today was a presentation to the Home Based Carers who provide support to people in communities affected or infected with HIV/AIDS.
There were 35 people of varying ages (1 male) who were provided with food parcels as acknowledgement of the work they do as Home Based Carers. I was asked to speak and acknowledged the important work done by these people on behalf of the African AIDS Foundation Board. The Home Based Carers liaise with the Community Support Team, provide education and information to people on Anti Retro Viral medication, provide feedback on support issues for families and liaise with other sections of Philakahle which provide support for gardens for people which maintain their health. In addition HBCs look after sick people and provide relevant referrals to Health Dept or the Philakahle CST. This work is funded by African AIDS Foundation Australia.
