Transformers in Action
2012-06-15

| The afternoon was filled with fun, games and food as the Transformers spent time chatting and catching up. |
The HIV and AIDS Office peer educators, a group of students also known as the Transformers, were treated to a braai by the HIV and Aids office last month. This was in recognition of the hard work and commitment they showed while fulfilling their academic obligations during the first semester.
To date, the Transformers have been involved in the STI Campaign week, the First Things First testing campaign, on both the Bloemfontein and South Campuses and the screening of the documentary film ‘Taking Haart’. They also have ongoing mentoring sessions every Friday that are facilitated by Tarryn Nell from the HIV and Aids office.
