Int’l NGO hosts HIV/AIDS seminar

The Japanese Chapter of Family Federation, an international non-governmental organization, on Tuesday hosted a HIV/AIDS workshop targeting over 60 participants comprising youths, adults and religious leaders at Regency Suites, Hadfield Street, Georgetown.
The “Free-teen” workshop focused on a deeper understanding of HIV/AIDS, and the importance of abstinence and character education. It was facilitated by Mr. Takeshi Furuta, who is an international lecturer on HIV/AIDS.
Ronald Mc Garrell, leader of Family Federation, stated that the workshop is timely since there is an increase in the spread of the disease worldwide, particularly among youths. As such, they need to be acquainted with the importance of abstinence. He stressed that young people need to grow up in a world free from HIV/AIDS.
Though the organization does not support sex before marriage and promiscuity, it encourages the use of condoms.
At the conclusion of the one-day workshop participants were presented with a certificate of participation.
Family Federation for World Peace focuses on the promotion of building ideal families to fix the woes in society, regardless of the political ideology of the nation. As part of achieving its objective, it encourages international cross-cultural marriages.
