Right to Play, an international humanitarian organisation that focuses on children, on Monday organised games for children at Kpetoe with the aim of "knocking down" HIV/AIDS and stigmatization.
The games sponsored by the United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) formed part of this year's World AIDS day, which falls on December 1, each year. It was under the theme: "Leadership - Reducing stigma and discrimination".
School children of various ages participated in activities such as hopes and dreams, stigma attack, shelter from the storm and knock down, all of which highlighted the need to continue to fight against the disease and stigmatisation.
Ms Irene Kpodo, Project Coordinator for Southern Projects of Right to Play, Ghana, described the event as successful because it provided useful lessons to the children on how they should relate positively to people with HIV/AIDS.
She urged the children to show love and care to their colleagues at school and home who are HIV/AIDS orphans or refugees.
Ms Kpodo asked them to share the knowledge acquired with their parents and other siblings.
"Let's all go and inform our parents and others at home that, HIV/AIDS is just like any ordinary disease and not dreadful so we must show love to People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs)," she said.
She advised the children to abstain from pre-marital sex and to negotiate for safe sex when they become adults.
The children earlier went on a procession through some principal streets of Kpetoe with placards some of which read, "kill the stigma now", "avoid pre-marital sex" and "Aids is not dreadful".
