The BAMMISHO Node and the Royal Bafokeng Nation united the community at Lesung Community Hall for a powerful World AIDS Day commemoration filled with poetry, music, dance, games, prizes and free HIV testing provided by The Aurum Institute.
Delivering the keynote address, Prof Geoffrey Setswe, Aurum Managing Director: Implementation Research Division, reflected on this year’s theme, Rethink. Rebuild. Rise.
“A truly effective response means we must rethink outdated models, rebuild systems that put people first, and rise together through inclusive policies, innovation, and collaboration.”
— Prof Setswe
This day was a reminder that when communities stand together, we rise stronger against HIV/AIDS, with dignity, hope, and determination.
