aqoon_bile.JPGToday's top story is Aqoon-Bile primary and Secondary School. Aqoon-Bile was established in 2000 in Mogadishu, Somalia. The term Aqoon-Bile originated from Somalia language that means ''Knowledge increaser'' stemmed from two educated men who dedicated themselves to teach their Somali needy children especially girls.
YOPA its side to fulfill a part of its mission conducted a participatory workshop about HIV/AIDS prevention to the secondary students at Aqoon-bile School and encouraged them to have open ears to this killer disease.
You may see students listening lectures addressed by HIV/AIDS prevention specialist.

Yopa,
The two men who founded Aqoo-Bile have such a wonderful vision. The need for education in your country must be great, especially for young women. And HIV/AIDS education is so important at this time. This is a great success story for Mogadishu, and thank you for the words and picture. I look forward to hearing more...
Cheers,
