The Department of Education has declared the September month as "Life Skills: HIV and AIDS Month."
Annually, during this period, the Department of Education conducts social mobilisation campaigns in all educational institutions through life skills, HIV and AIDS activities.The decision to declare September as "Life Skills: HIV and AIDS Month", came with the realisation that the commemoration of World AIDS Day, on 1 December, falls at a time in the education calendar, when learners are either busy with end of the year examinations or have already gone on holiday.
The objectives of the campaign are to:
* strengthen awareness amongst learners, educators and communities on Life Skills, HIV and AIDS* encourage schools, communities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and faith-based organisations (FBOs) to support the Department of Education in keeping children in schools, and * nurture a culture of documenting best practice and sharing ideas across schools.
The government’s Caring Together for Children (CT4T) campaign will guide this year’s Life Skills: HIV and AIDS activities.School-based activities will include a range of activities whose focus will be abstinence, HIV and teenage pregnancy prevention, substance abuse, care and support, child abuse and health relationships amongst learners.All these activities will take place as a build up to World AIDS Day on 1 December around the theme "A Nation Caring for Children". Lessons learnt and best practice across the system will be documented in order to be shared.

11:35 For our last interview we spoke about the Community correction and care organisation. We spoke to, Lucille Kennedy.
