Lubango — The English ecclesiastical NGO "Tearfund" funded this year with about USD 40.000 the group of Christian bible students in Angola (Gbeca) for awareness activities and campaigns for voluntary testing of HIV/AIDS in the province of Huila.
Speaking Tuesday to ANGOP, in the development of activities debating themes relating to this disease in Huila, the coordinator of Gbeca, Canda Justino, said that the funding is being applied to a project called "Atalaia", which promotes awareness in institutions of primary and high schools.
He added that the project will end late December, and is characterised by lectures, Bible studies, and campaigns to help people living with HIV/Aids.
The group of christian students from Angola has existed since 1990 with the mission to evangelise students and professionals from institutes and universities on care for HIV/Aids positive people.
