HIV - meeting the monk
On 14 May, Aisha and I (the HIV/AIDS team) met with Kittichai Kittisaro, a Buddhist monk from Phrao’s Wat Kuam Paak. In the past, Kittichai has organized programs to assist the HIV positive population in Phrao and educate the at-risk population regarding HIV/AIDS. This meeting was important because Kittichai could be a valuable resource and partner Warm Heart’s HIV/AIDS team. Aisha and I briefed Kittichai regarding the type of services and resources our program might entail and we solicited his opinion regarding the direction in which we are heading. He endorsed our plan and provided valuable feedback. The team is excited about collaborating with him in the future!
