“…The participants' involvement in caring for PLWHA ranged from eight months to 23 years and their ages ranged from 28 to 58 years of age. The fact that 22 out of the 25 participants are female corroborates the existing body of evidence on caregivers who care for PLWHA (Marincowitz, Jackson, & Fehrsen, 2004;Orner, 2006:237;Schneider, Hlophe & Van Rensburg, 2008), which shows that an HBCG is generally a female, underscoring the view that caregiving is women's work (Akintola, 2005:6;Kolhi et al, 2012;Maes & Kalofonos, 2013:57).…”

This investigation was conducted in South Africa to look into (i) the challenges experienced by caregivers in exercising their duties of caring for PLWHA, (ii) how they manage such challenges, and (iii) suggestions on how social workers can support them. This article presents findings specifically pertaining to suggestions made by the caregivers on how social workers can support them.

“…It was also felt that some of the home-based carers were not suitable for the task required of them.

In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that does not exist. 1Limited financial resources and social problems in the communities surrounding the University of the Free State (UFS) in South Africa prompted the need for community engagement as a core university activity. A facilitator in the form of a non-profit company called the Khula Xhariep Partnership (KXP) was created to ensure sustainable opportunities for members involved in community engagement. In 2005, the Physiotherapy Department of the UFS initiated a community outreach programme in the form of a service learning module with specific service learning pedagogic skills and outcomes to meet the mandatory requirements of all the relevant statutory bodies, and the mission statement of the KXP. From this service learning module, it became clear that effective civic engagement can only take place when integrated in all university activities, within a structured curriculum with definite teaching and learning outcomes, quality academic supervision, assessment and research.
