Channel of Hope Workshop for Moslem Context – Hajee Abdul Latief Yaleget’s Story
As a hajee (one who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca), Abdul Latief often preach in government religious activities while daily he has to take control on day to day religious activities in Al-Falah Mosque in Walesi village. “I never know about HIV and AIDS before!” said Latief. “This workshop had given me a wider approach on overcoming HIV and AIDS in my village” he continued. Attending Channel of Hope workshop is the first activity on HIV and AIDS he had been involved with. Before, neither specific health socializations nor illuminations he had received. He always thought that HIV and AIDS are far away from his village.
“I’m very glad to be participant in this workshop, World Vision had brought me into new ideas and roles to be taken as I’m a religious leader” said Latief. He also said that no organization involving Moslem leaders before. He said that maybe since Moslem is minority no organization involving them in HIV prevention activities. “Before, I thought HIV will never come to my family or my village. But day by day there was always some one get sick without knowing what the disease is. Now I realized what the disease is and what the cause is. I have to spread this information I’ve receive from World Vision to my people in the village, forming a community that care about prevention of HIV and AIDS” he continued.
The “Channels of Hope” programme aims to mobilize faith communities through process-driven workshops and the commitment and dedication of trained facilitators. It was first developed by CABSA (Christian AIDS Bureau for Southern Africa at the Huguenot College) and in 2004 adopted by World Vision Hope Initiative as a core HIV & AIDS model.
“Pak[1] Latief is very concern about all materials given in this workshop” said Ustad [2]Daden one of the facilitators came from Sukabumi (Java). “He is very active and willing to learn a lot of new things during the workshop. I believe he will be a good speaker promoting HIV and AIDS prevention in his mosque and community” Daden continued.
When we asked about the nearest plan that Pak Latief will take after the workshop, he said “I will spread the information especially for children and teenagers as I’m aware they should know first about this information before they involved in danger situation that could brought them to HIV transmission”. We smiled that day. Though it was raining outside there will always a sun shining after the rain. Good luck Pak Latief!
