On the 25th of October 2007, at the Kompong Thom provincial sport stadium, a very exciting health promotion titled, “Life Skills Education for HIV & AIDS Prevention”, was organised by the CSCS team to raise awareness in the community of the danger and threats of HIV & AIDS prevalence.

The event began with a full parade on the town’s main road attracting the full attention and rousing fantastic support from the town’s population. It was a highly successful all-day event with thousands of students, parents, teachers, school directors, community and NGO representatives and local partners, dignitaries and leaders in full attendance. It was also an excellent opportunity for the students and their schools to inform the parents and the general public of the life skills lessons currently being taught at their schools. All enjoyed taking part in the event’s fun games, role plays and song contests which were accompanied by prizes which were reported in the local media. The CSCS team and local partners were very pleased by the success of the event, and the participation and support of everyone involved!
