Barbara Bungy, Youth Outreach Coordinator at the St. Chris HIV Program and the recipient of funding from the DHHS Office of Women's Health, lead the program to a successful event for National Woman and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The event, held at the Rose of Sharon Apostolic Church had 20 contributors presenting information HIV/AIDS and STD prevention, but also health screenings around nutrition and heart health. The workshops were well attended and focused on preventing HIV/AIDS and in building healthy relationships. We plan to have this become an annual event. Comments from participants included: "Appropriate and helpful workshop, I learned a lot about HIV transmission" "Out community really needs informtion about HIV and domestic violence. Thank You!: "I learned that there are more resources available in the community that doesn't cost a penny!!!"
