The Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN) last week held its two day 16th HIV/AIDS and Alcohol Awareness Campaign under the theme: No Youth No Future.
The two day event was aimed at addressing factors that are linked to HIV/AIDS, particularly that of alcohol abuse. Speaking at the launch, PoN Vice Rector: Academic Affairs and Research, Andrew Niikondo, stressed the need for young people to make the right decisions and change their behaviours towards HIV/AIDS.

This situation persists even though Namibia has programmes for young people to education, information and services that could protect them form harm,” he said. > > > > Read More
