| The work of Ms Estelle Heideman of the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS), on an HIV/Aids project on farms in the southern Free State, has appeared in On Philanthropy, an online publication in New York, USA. The aim of the project was to equip 40 farm workers on two farms near the town of Philippolis with knowledge and skills regarding HIV/Aids. Ms Heideman has just returned from a two-month scholarship programme at the University of Columbia and the University of California, Los Angeles, where she participated in the MAC AIDS Fund Leadership Initiative. She launched a DVD earlier this year on the project before she left for New York. The On Philanthropy article can be accessed through the following link: Click |
