HOPE Cape Town and HIV & Sports
Against the background of the Soccer World Cup and the ongoing partnership between Bavaria and the Western Cape, HOPE Cape Town is currently conceptualising projects that promote HIV prevention and awareness through sports activities in cooperation with the Technical University Munich, Stellenbosch University (Faculty of Health Sciences) and KID-CRU (Children’s Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Unit). On 15 June 2010, representatives of all parties signed a Letter of Intent as a basis for the new co-operation. The signing ceremony was accompanied by music from the traditional Bavarian folklore group “Isargauer Trachtengruppe”. We are looking forward to this new German – South African joint venture and another fruitful collaboration.
