SINGAPORE: A year-long AIDS awareness programme targeted at foreign workers kicked off in Little India over the weekend.
Some 300 workers attended a talk in Tamil about HIV/AIDS prevention.
It was the first attempt by the Singapore Planned Parenthood Association, in partnership with the Health Promotion Board and Action for AIDS Singapore, to reach out to migrant workers.
And it planned to hold similar talks for other worker communities such as the Bangladeshis, Thais, Filipinos, Chinese and Punjabis, in their own native languages.
To encourage attendance, organisers threw in a movie screening and giveaways such as phone cards.
