HIV - AIDS Awareness program by Westerlaken Foundation and Bali Kids

Writer's picture: Rodney WesterlakenRodney Westerlaken




Westerlaken Foundation collaborates with Bali Kids Foundation within the HIV - AIDS Awareness program that aims to educate students from an early age in understanding and preventing the spread of the HIV virus. The HIV / AIDS Awareness program is a continuous program that is conducted in schools in Bali to promote awareness and educate students from 6th grade of elementary school to 9th grade of junior school. We hope that through this program, the stigma against people living with HIV can be removed by receiving correct information about the disease. Our team, consisting of a doctor and a nurse, also provide health services to schools and give education about HIV - AIDS.

The series of activities of this program include health check for students and socialising to promote HIV awareness. We work closely with schools and health centres in all districts in Bali to organise similar activities in both elementary schools and junior schools in Bali.




Coinciding with the commemoration of National Kartini Day (21/04/2022), Westerlaken Foundation and Bali Kids conducted the HIV-AIDS Education program at SMP Negeri 3 Selemadeg Timur, Tabanan Regency.




On Thursday (28/04/2022), Westerlaken Foundation conducted the HIV-AIDS Awareness program at SD Negeri 3 Gadungan, East Selemadeg, Tabanan Regency. This time, the program was given to the sixth graders at SDN 3 Gadungan. We hope that during their transition to puberty and higher education levels, they can be wiser in processing information about HIV-AIDS and having the right information on how to prevent it.


This program, conducted by Westerlaken foundation and Bali Kids, is funded by Neba foundation and Wilde Ganzen

Comments



The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
