COMING CLOSER
... READERS' FEEDBACK
The Sondela team has received numerous messages
of support and interest in response to our first
two editions:
Musa Mayisela from the National Community Radio
Forum wrote: "Most of our radio stations
have received both editions of Sondela. Thanks
so much for giving us as NCRF some publicity.
This has led to some NGOs being willing to partner
with us in a variety of projects".
Patricia Manele from the NCRF Gender Network
thought the newsletter was "fabulous",
and sent through two useful articles for publication
on the HIVAN website on the topic of gender equity.
We will publish one of these in the June/July
2003 issue of Sondela.
Emma Mortimer from Thandanani Children's Foundation
wrote: "We think Sondela is a wonderful idea,
and a lot more informative than some publications
currently in circulation."
Thabisile Buthelezi from Edgewood College appealed
for more copies to distribute to her students
and colleagues, and Phumzile Ndlovu from the WorldVision
SA Child Survival Project in Bergville has also
told us how useful the newsletter is for their
community projects.
Our circulation list has grown rapidly during
the last six months, and with very few postal
returns, we are pleased to know that Sondela is
fulfilling its intended purpose of helping people
in coming closer…
As ever, we invite you to share with us your
thoughts, experiences, strengths and contacts.
Do you have suggestions for more effective networking?
A question for our experts? Better ways to gain
access to treatment and care services? All our
readers can benefit from both your knowledge and
your queries.
Join our database and mailing list:
HIVAN is compiling a database of names, contact
details and activity summaries of individuals,
organisations, research and networking projects
operating in the field of HIV/AIDS in KwaZulu-Natal
and beyond. We want to make this register available
to as many people as possible, so that anyone
needing this information can use it as a directory.
The register is available through our website
and, as funds permit, in paper form. If you would
like to be listed, or know anyone else who should
be included, please contact us. Also, if you wish
to receive additional copies of SONDELA, or if
you can suggest new dropoff points for the newsletter,
do let us know.
