Tech Merit. The Gambia PCVs, Justin Wellins, Peter Seebart and Peter Tyliszczak, of the HIV/AIDS Speak the Truth Football Tournament held a sensitization of HIV/AIDS on June 20, 2013, in The Gambis, West Africa. During the train basic HIV/AIDS is shared with 7 football teams participating in the tournament. At the end of the day of the day the football team tied a single ribbon around their wrist. They were all connected – they are a team. And it will take this team and many others, being connected, to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS. But, after the tournament, they went their different ways. Because we did not want them to forget, we asked each of them to wear this red string around their wrist as a reminder. When people ask them about the red string, they can share with them what they learned, what they know and what they believe. When they look at the string they can remember they have the power to protect themselves and others from HIV.
