Road To Vienna

Ocho Rios and Montego Bay to Vienna

Not to be left out of the journey to Vienna were the often-times-forgotten out-of-town areas.
In an effort to include other civil society players from these areas, CVC also conducted sessions in two such central locations.

In Ocho Rios, the session was attended by representatives from over seven organizations located in the northeastern section of the island. They are groups working with youth, Substance Users, persons living with HIV, sex workers, men who have sex with men and the homeless.

Maisiline Walters of SAYES (l) Princess Brown of SWAJ (c) and Oral Higgings of STAPAA(r) participate in the abstract-writing workshop.
