Talk with the Person who works on protection against HIB |
| CHC organized a training seminar on "Counseling/Child Psychology and the Anti-HIV Virus Medicine" at the Pastoral Training Center, Sampran, on 26-30 September 2007 with 48 participants from various Catholic institutions working on AIDS. |
| Miss Thitakanya Wongchana, a staff member working on protection against HIV/AIDS within the community under the Foundation of the Camillian Society of Thailand, Pang-nga, is a participant in this seminar. She narrates her experience of working on AIDS in Pang-nga as following: |
| "My assignment is to coordinate with the provincial hospital in Pang-nga in order to make a follow-up and assist the persons living with HIV to organize themselves into groups and to have a regular meeting. Currently there are 8 such groups. They do activities in the hospital with assistance from advisors who both give advice and perform activities together with the group members. |
| On protection activities against HIV there are 4 people who will visit HIV persons and those affected by AIDS to see to it that they regularly take the anti-virus medicine, to give advice on how to take care of their health and also to give moral support to members of the HIV infected person. Work of the foundation is carried out in a holistic manner, i.e. for both physically and mentally healing. We also provide preventive knowledge to the community and factory workers, especially the expatriate ones. |
| As far as the knowledge gained in this seminar I will certainly put into practice by holding fast to the principle of good counseling, i.e. be a good listener, the counseling process starts with oneself in observing the face and gesture of the targeted person, and then we have to make familiarity in order to create confidence. I am most thankful to this seminar. I promise that I will apply what I have learned from this seminar." |
| The Camillian Foundation of Pang-nga started soon after the Tsunami calamity which took place on 26 December 2005 and caused great damages to several western cost of the south of Thailand causing loss to a lot of lives and property of both local people and tourists. The Universal Church, through her Christian solidarity, has rounded up resources of every kind to help the victims caused by nature. The Camillian Religious Order is one among those who went down immediately to provide whatever help they can do. Assistance to the victims are divided into 2 phases: |
| 1. First Phase: The Camillians tried to alleviate the plight of the victims bring along with them doctors and nurses to provide medical treatment and watch for the outbreak of contagious diseases which normally come easily after a natural disaster. At the same time they also coordinate data on the victims' sickness in order to provide the maximum efficiency. |
| 2. Renewal Phase: The Camillians have continuously organized a mobile medical team to provide health care to the family affected by the natural disaster. In this connection volunteers and personnel of the Camillian foundation are brought to make home visits in the communities. From these home visits, we have found that the problem of HIV contamination and persons living with AIDS is tended to be on the rise. So, the Camillian Foundation has organized a preventive project in order to prevent HIV/AIDS and reduce the acceleration rate through activities which provide knowledge to the community, and at the same time, coordinate relevant assistance to the persons living with HIV. |
| Our Life Potential Development Center is located at House No. 13/2, Village 6, Bang Muang Sub-district, Taguapa District, Pang-nga, Tel: 076 596 619. At present Rev. Phairat Sriprasert is the center director. |
