MOJUV organizes 7th Annual HIV/AIDS Forum

This past month Ciudad Sandino Cantera's youth movement, MOJUV, organized their 7th Annual Forum on HIV/AIDS in the municipality. The event was held at the mayor's office in Ciudad Sandino with the participation of 10 other youth and/or health organizations in the community as well as students from different schools around the area. The event was full of different speakers, videos, group discussions, and private HIV testing.
The event is a big deal for MOJUV because it is an opportunity to work with many different organizations and institutions within Ciudad Sandino to organize on a municipal level. The event is also important because HIV/AIDS is a growing situation not only in the community but specifically amongst the youth populations here. MOJUV works to organize themselves around important causes that affect them as youth and their community and be agents of change in their reality.
