Capture Knowledge-Guyana Faith and HIV Coalition

[Nicole Rhonda Cole]

The Guyana Faith and HIV Coalition held a "Capture Knowledge" Session at Cara Lodge on 10 December, 2011 International Human Rights Day! The Session was attended by Rastafari Representatives, Muslim Representative, Christian Representatives, Hindu Representatives and Bahai Representatives! Dr. Ruben F. del Prado had his message read by an ILO Representative and the Master of Ceremony was Ras Ian General Secretary of the Guyana Rastafarian Council. An overview of SALT and ACP was done by Allister Collins and Nicole Cole. A Video with various SALT visits were shown which was really 'Awe Inspiring' since the David Rose School for the handicapped were among the participants as well as the Elderly. Nicole Cole wished all a Happy Human Rights Day!

Gaston thank you for the words of encouragement and support which really provides Motivation for us to do more; the Methodology used included SALT visits to the Prisons, David Rose School for the Handicapped, Home for the Elderly, a Hindu place of Worship (Mandir); the Knowledge captured were then 'Fused' into one Video which will be posted by Ms.Shabakie Fernandes on Ning for you to peruse and make comments. The SALT visits included the use of the CLC Modules. Allister and I did a brief overview of SALT capturing from when you came in February 2010 to date; we spoke of the International linkages therefore spreading SALT! Jah Bless! One Love!

[Gaston]

Thank you Nicole. Great to see this. What methodology did you use to capture knowledge? Can you share an agenda if possible for our learning? I'd really like to see the outcomes and learn more.
