She also urged teachers to advise pupils to shun premature sex in order to avoid contracting the virus. 

David Kamanzi representing Rusizi district thanked World Relief and requested that the training module be expanded to include other teachers

"I have learnt a lot from this seminar on how to fight against AIDS and I am sure this will help me to teach students against engaging in premarital sex,” Christopher Hakizimana one of the participants from Groupe Scolaire de Gihundwe said.
