"Viva PATA Viva!"

Participant email comments about PATA 2007 in Swaziland:

From one of the guest speakers: "I think PATA has grown into a fantastic conference / workshop, truly an asset to the HIV infected/affected and treatment community. Thank you for your tireless efforts! At risk of sounding clichéd, Good luck with the next one and Viva PATA Viva"
From a first time attending team in Zimbabwe: "We are deciding to transfer the 'PATA' effect by trying to get all our Government sponsored teams from the different hospitals together in Harare to learn from each other's experience. We will need to get someone to sponsor this from our Ministry of health... not easy to do, but we will try anyway. We were very grateful for the wonderful time we had in Swaziland, and all the effort you put in to make it a success."
From Burkina Faso: "Encore une fois merci à vous età toute l'équipe de pata pour avoir permis à des personnes d'horizons diverses, tous engagées dans la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA chez l'enfant et chez l'adolescent de venir sur un même plateau partager les expériences. Je puis vous rassurer que ce rendez-vous unique (du donner et du recevoir) que pata nous offre nous enrichit à plus d'un titre.Nous avons beaucoup apris et nous comptons mettre cela au service de nos enfants pour qui le destin et la fatalité tracent "des chemins qui ne mènent pas toujours à Rôme". Merci une fois de plus et que DIEU bénisse pata et toute son équipe. "
(Once again thank you and the rest of the PATA team to allow people from various places, committed to fight against HIV/AIDS among children and adolescents to come together and share experience. I assure you that this unique opportunity (give and take) that PATA offered to us will improve our activities greatly. We learnt a lot and we hope to put all we learnt into practice in order to offer better service to the children we serve whose fate and mortality create "roads that do not always lead to Rome ". Once again thanks and may God bless PATA and his team. )
From a first-time attending team in KZN South Africa: "All the team members enjoyed a lot the Congress and helped them to exchange experiences with the other teams in Africa. Also it helped all the members to work as a team and achieve success at work place and confront challenges. Thank you PATA for an educational conference that allowed us to interact with the rest of Africa"
From Malawi: "I must thank you so much as well for the entire conference, its arrangement and contents were just superb. We hope to entice more members from clinics in Malawi at the next PATA conference."??From Rwanda: "Thank you for everything. I thought it was a huge success and my team had a fantastic experience."
From Zimbabwe: "We are always encouraged, inspired and motivated to greater heights after PATA. Thank you for all your hard work, you are AMAZING!!"
From Kenya: "On behalf of my team, thanks for every organization. That was indeed exemplary and thanks for that. Thanks too for your concern in everything during and after the conference. I hope you will be even more stronger for greater assignments in future. We hope to see you soon even before PATA 2008. Pass regards to David and everyone. We will miss you!"
From Lesotho: "Well done! I am very proud of you and your team. Keep it up."
From Tanzania: "We really appreciate for all the arrangement. The conference had added value to us and surely will solve some of the problems in our setting. Our way back was safe and enjoyable. PATA long live."
From a nurse in South Africa: "May PATA go from strength to strength"
From a Clinton Foundation representative about what one of the Mozambiquan teams have learnt from the conference: "I have already heard from our psychologist that he learned new tools for working with adolescents."
From a nurse in Namibia: "We got to share and hear what other people do. If it was not for PATA, unification of activities in the field of HIV would not be possible"
From the nursing sister in the host team in Swaziland: "Thank you once more for considering Swaziland as host country this year, the meeting was great, well organized and highly informative."
Cette note de l'équipe de Cote d'ivoire pour vous dire que nous sommes bien arrivé. Nous sommes à Abidjan depuis hier aprês-midi. Je profite de cette occasion pour dire un grand merci à toute l'équipe de PATA et surtout à toi Mélanie qui a tout fait pour que nous assistions encore une fois à cette belle rencontre annuelle d'échange sur le VIH/SIDA. Pour l'organisation, elle a été parfaite.
(This is a message from the Ivory Coast Team to let you know we arrived safely. We are in Abidjan since yesterday afternoon. I take this opportunity to thank the whole PATA team and specifically you for helping us attend this very fruitful annual conference about exchange of ideas and experience on HIV/AIDS. It was perfectly organized)
