HCT Success!!

Last Saturday the 18th of August, GRS Kimberley hosted an HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) tournament at Sweeper's Ground.  We welcomed boys and girls teams spanning from ages 14 to 19 who battled for victory over the course of seven hours.  Before playing, in between games, or after getting knocked out of contention, GRS staff, coaches, and interns ushered teams to the testing area where New Start HIV Counseling and Testing Centre staff tested 233 Kimberley youth for HIV.  A day filled with GRS energizers, activities, HIV discussions, lots of football, food, and testing to know our status, GRS Kimberley is happy with the day's success and looks forward to the next HCT.  Stay tuned for updates and help us break 300 tested! Know your status so you can lead a healthy life no matter what.

Here are some pictures from the event:
