She goes on saying that during their sensitization activities, RNJ+ youth need computers to keep their files, to print documents for their daily work of educating people how to fight against HIV\/AIDS. \u201cSheets of paper are not easy to keep cause of humidity, that is the reason why we have decided to give them those computers to make easy their activities,\u201d highlights Njinyari.

Then, this will have a positive impact on our activities of sensitizing other youth about HIV\/AIDS,\u201d says Nininahazwe.
\nHe also indicates that their Association started in 2004 and officially recognized in 2006 and now they are delighted because it is the first time they get this kind of assistance which is of a paramount importance. \u201cWe are gladdened by this kind of aid; this shows that our activity is appreciated by the community. This noble act will push us to be more active and dynamic during our daily activities of playing a leading role in fighting against HIV\/AIDS. Thanks to our commitment, we hope to stop the spreading of that terrible threat,\u201d declares Nininahazwe. He states that he would be happier to continue receiving this kind of support and calls upon other institutions to be also good Samaritans like Western Union and some local banks.
