We Have a Winner. Two Actually.

The client holding card number 334 has been drawn as the lucky winner of the Digicel Blackberry phone for the Rodeo health promotion. The winner for the dinner for two at Pegasus is the holder of card number 003. Let them both come forward to claim their prizes.

The HIV testing campaign under the RPH project was designed to target drivers - a relatively high risk and 'bridging population' in the context of Southern Guyana.

Their numbers were drawn publicly and at random by the Deputy Regional Executive Officer from Region Nine at the RDC office in Lethem. Due to the hype surrounding the high tech smart phone, an additional sixteen clients were tested and counseled immediately prior to the drawing.

Special thanks to Digicel and the Pegasus Hotel for supporting this grass roots intervention to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections and raise awareness among a vulnerable population.
