World AIDS Day movies and discussion in Juba, South Sudan
The U.S. Consul General in Juba, Makila James, hosted a World AIDS Day program in the capital of South Sudan on December 1. Approximately 20 guests attended, including several representatives from Juba-based NGOs committed to combating HIV/AIDS, as well as from UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and USAID. The group watched short films entitled “Scenarios from Africa” offered by the State Department’s Africa Regional Service in Paris.
Two mini-discussions allowed participants to share experiences and strategies for informing Sudanese in both North and South Sudan about fighting AIDS. U.S. Embassy Public Affairs staff also distributed scores of books, pamphlets, and posters on HIV/AIDS to the participants.
