What I like most about/ have benefitted most from being a PPAG Volunteer
The training workshops Edmund received from PPAG has helped him a lot. They gave him a “can do” spirit and motivated him to undertaker a private candidate exam in 2005 that led him to WESCO in 2006 and further studies in 2015. He was recommended by PPAG to NPAN/ASH and was trained by ESTER to become a Psychosocial Counselor and worked with KATH from 2010-2012 as a counselor at the CT (counselling and testing) centre where HIV counseling and testing is being done.
Other interests, including family life
His interest in counselling has given him the chance to help his pupils to solve many challenges in their academic and social life. He is blessed with a wife and four children.
