SPAU in partnership with Advantage Africa conducted a 5-day residential training last week, on Memory Work for single parent leaders across selected SPAU areas of operation in central Uganda. The training was intended to equip resourceful single parent leaders with skills to enable them to build a foundation for enhanced responses to HIV/AIDS in their communities through better preparation for future challenges in life in a set of programs known as “Memory Work”.
Memory Work is a community approach to address fundamental issues around HIV communication in the family which focuses on: improving communication between guardians and parents living with HIV and their children; disclosing HIV status and other important information; succession planning and writing important family history in a memory book.
