On Saturday April 9th, 2005, SWA members from the Ghana Region participated in a momentous Aids Walk which aimed to raise awareness about the epidemic and different prevention methods. The walk which was organized by the Ghana Region of the SWA and brought together 300 members from numerous SWA chapters.

Educational packages and 3000 free condoms were distributed to interested people along the way. Members and participants were able to march through the streets and enjoy the event as well. We truly thank all the organizers of this extraordinary event and look forward to see similar events in the future.

The following picture shows the route that SWA members took in Accra, Ghana.

Along the route, participants distributed 3000 condoms and HIV/AIDS prevention tracks as well as hand bill on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Some residents were also interviewed by members of SWA. This was aimed at giving the public all the vital information and also promote the use of condoms.

The route was strategically chosen as it offered the opportunity to meet all sort and classes of people-children, youth and adult; the rich, the low class and the poor. This resulted in a very interesting scenario. Some received the condoms they couldn't afford to buy. Some refused for religious and superstitious beliefs. Some were simply shy to accept it in public.
