Today was a great day at work.NAChosted an event to handover antiretroviral (ARV) drugs and additional funds to support orphaned and vulnerable children in Zimbabwe. The drugs, worth $4.5 million, were financed entirely by the people of Zimbabwe, through the AIDS levy - a tax that all employed Zimbabweans pay. This makes it possible for all HIV-positive people in the country to receive the drugs that keep them alive for free. The additional funds donated today ($270,000) will contribute to ensuring that orphans and vulnerable children throughout the country receive proper basic education.All in all, a great day for the fight against HIV and AIDS in Zim.There are a few additional pictures in myJuly 2011 album.
