ACHIVA Addressing the Challenge of HIV and AIDS
News
On December 1st, World AIDS Day, Kathryn Ellis spoke at a concert given by the "People and Planet Group" at Cheney School - whom we congratulate on their initiative to spread awareness of the problems of HIV and AIDS. This year's topic is "Universal Access and Human Rights".
Masi Makhalemele visited Kidlington in November 2010, which provided a splendid opportunity to catch up on all the news from South Africa. A special supper was organised so she could give a presentation to members of the parish about her work with our link parish of Montshiwa. She also spoke at Cheney School in Oxford, addressing sixth formers planning for World AIDS Day 2010, and gave interviews with Radio Oxford and the Church Times. AND she recorded material for the Archbishop of Canterbury's World AIDS Day message this year, see here.
August 2010 - So full of exciting events
Kathryn Ellis and four other parishioners from St Mary's Kidlington had another visit to South Africa and came back with so much to tell - especially of the great strides forward being made in areas of special interest to us.
They saw at first hand the transforming effect of a football - or more precisely one of the 281 very special footballs resulting from the first phase of our "Fund a Football" campaign. For an update on the wonderful achievements of the campaign, see the Projects Fund a Football pages.
And then there was news of the Moitsheki Health and Life Skills Development Initiative in Montshiwa. This was launched during their visit, with a building now available for use as a centre. Kathryn had the privilege and honour of opening the “Moitsheki Centre” bearing her name in Setswana!
A detailed report of the visit is also available, see here
