Standard Chartered Bank, celebrating it’s 150th year in Indonesia, joins with legendary Liverpool FC (LFC) midfielder, Dietmar “Didi” Hamann and YCAB Foundation in educating 400 senior high school (SMAK) students about HIV/AIDS in Penabur, Bandung, part of the “Living with HIV” campaign. A total of 40 Standard Chartered Bank employees participated as volunteers in this event along with the students who, having been trained by YCAB’s HeLP team, gave campaigns in every class they visited.
Country Head of Corporate Affairs for Standard Chartered Bank (Indonesia), Arno Kermaputra, conveys how important it is to know about HIV/AIDS and its’ related dangers. This event not only provided football training to students but also gave them knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS.
Didi Hamann joins the campaign in the classroom as he shares his experiences as an ambassador for HIV/AIDS. He also advised that, in order to achieve our goals, we need to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Didi Hamann demonstrates the holistic approach to health-awareness by performing to around 40 students, in a lesson about the techniques of the game of football. Football is massively popular throughout Indonesia and can be a useful tool for instilling a positive body, soul and spirit in the students taking part.
