Christine: A barmaid who lures fishermen into a healthier life
Cody Thompson told the story of Christine Ssentumu, a community health educator embedded as a barmaid in Ggaba, Uganda, who educates and counsels the hard-to-reach fisherman population, which experiences HIV at significantly higher rates than the rest of Uganda.
Thompson wrote the story as an assignment for the class Reporting HIV/AIDS in Africa, which traveled to Kampala, Uganda, to report on health care.
