February 25, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — Religious leaders and specialists gathered in a two day workshop last week to finalize a training curriculum to build the capacity of religious leaders in responding to HIV/AIDS in Sudan.

Over 50 key religious leaders from both the Christian and Muslim faiths joined together to fully endorse the first training curriculum. This module focuses on enabling religious figures to promote spiritual values of care and compassion for People Living with HIV/AIDS.

Sweet. Thumbs up for these people. Apparently, we’re number one in the Arab world in terms of HIV/AIDS infections and number three in terms of drug addiction. So yeah, this is pretty lovely. And I love the fact that it’s bringing together both Christians and Muslims to fight for a common cause.

    I wish there wasn’t and I wish I didn’t have to blog about it. But it exists even if many Sudanese refuse to believe so.

    Denial just makes the problem grow exponentially. Thus, the campaign of religious leaders is a blessed reality check.

    LOL! Don’t you girls have any patriotism? Shame on you bimbos! THERE IS NO HIV IN SUDAN! Understood?

    Not but seriously though, this event really makes me happy. It’s such a huge and unexpected progressive move. Never even knew they had it in them.
