Students to host AIDS awareness campaign
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
September 23, 2008

The Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) in conjunction with the Zimbabwe Poets for Human Rights (ZPHR) will be hosting the second edition of the 'Graduate Alive' campaign on Friday the 26th of September from 1800hrs till late at the Large City Hall in Bulawayo.The program is mainly targeted at students in tertiary institutions and aims at raising awareness to students on the dangers of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The campaign was launched in Masvingo last year after the realisation that students are the most vulnerable group because of the economic hardships bedeviling the country.

We want to conscientise students on the need of living a healthy life during and after they graduate from college and hence this campaign. Students should take precautionary measures and desist from engaging in immoral activities that exposes them to the deadly virus.

We urge students to be faithful to one partner and encourage them to be a generation of HIV free academics. To the students who are already infected we assure them that they can still graduate alive that is if they live positively. Lastly we urge students to get tested and know their status as a way of living a healthy positive life.

There shall be music, poetry, public speaking, dramas and artists who are billed to perform include Extra Large, Madiz, SIYAYA Arts ensemble, Mpopoma Dance Group and CADET of the 'Makomishini' fame. All students tertiary institutions and high schools are invited and this event is free of charge.
