Nicaragua postcard

To be honest, the documentary 'Positive people' (made by Progressio partner organisation Fundación Luciernaga) hit me hard. I felt what people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) are going through. The problem in Nicaragua is we have chosen to close our eyes to the pandemic. We live in ignorance. And because of this we have ended up discriminating against PLWHA. This video could be part of a bigger awareness campaign. We will use it at my Sunday School, and as a church we commit ourselves to work towards the improvement of life for PLWHA: not to exclude them, but to make them feel that the doors of our community are open.
