In recent times attention is being focused on HIV/AIDS education as a means of sensitizing potential victims to the benefits of informed decisions. Bastion, Inc. saw a great opportunity in the education of young and sexually active school age children. Across the world, schools play a major role in shaping the attitudes, opinions and (perhaps most importantly) the behavior of young people. Today’s generation of school children have been born into a world where the AIDS pandemic is a harsh, unavoidable reality - a situation that their time at school can help them to prepare for. As well as providing an environment in which people can be educated about AIDS, schools often act as a centre-point for community discussion and activity; as such, they can be a vital tool in monitoring the epidemic and coordinating a response to it. Bastion, Inc has carved a niche for itself in this education crusade and has undertaken to train significant numbers of young student leaders in African countries to become the trainers of their peers.
