Our Priorities: HIV/Aids 'Establishing peer educators' In
Honduras, low awareness of HIV/Aids remains a challenge. In
order to ensure employees have a good understanding of HIV/Aids,
Cerveceria Hondureña launched a voluntary peer educator's
programme during 2011. As part of the programme, volunteer
employees attended training sessions which improved their
understanding of HIV/Aids. In total, 19 employees volunteered
for the training and each individual was provided with 27 hours
of training. The course was developed in partnership with
instructors from the Metropolitan Health Region and the local
NGO 'CIADE' (Centre for Research and Advocacy of Human Rights).
Following the training, the volunteers are encouraged and
enabled to raise awareness of HIV/Aids amongst their colleagues
and provide support if and where required. Comments are
