A personal perspective of treatment support: Eric Nachibanga, Zambia contributes to BBC project
19 December 2006
The Alliance has been working with the BBC World Service online on a project that aims to raise awareness of HIV by telling the stories of those that are caring for and helping to support people affected by the epidemic.
Eric Nachibanga, a treatment support worker with the Alliance’s ACER project in Zambia, is one of the participants in the project. Eric will be talking to the BBC approximately every 3-4 weeks about what he has been doing, the issues that have arisen, and his own personal perspective. These conversations will inform an online special report that will include diary entries, pictures and audio clips.
The site is now live. The first interview installment plus new pictures and audio clips will be going live on the site in the next few days. Click through directly to Eric’s page.
The Alliance in the media
The Alliance’s participatory photo project Unheard Voices, Hidden Lives has also been in the media spotlight recently. You can see a selection of stories from the project on The Guardian/Observer website. One of the UK’s most influential gay publications, Gay Times, also covered a selection of the images in a five page spread.
