This week we had all the HIV events culminating with a testing day on thursday that had 159 people attending. We are very happy to have that many people coming since we had the fear that the men would not turn up due to fears of being found out by their wives. Even the newly elected member for the Village Health Team (VHT) in charge of HIV/STDs was present during the whole 6+ hour session and encouraged everybody to be tested by being the first one in line. A lot of condoms were also distributed and hopefully some more testing can be done in the future to control this virus that has been creeping up in Uganda again.
On friday we had the UVP tournament were Bunio was well represented by finishing 3rd (or 4th since that game was not played). We had a lot of fun and I was very proud of my 5 goals (people in Colombia are not going to believe that, but it is true!).
