Diana Kekana, a resident of Aberdeen, excelled in her exams with Boston City Campus in Port Elizabeth last year. Kekana, who many will know through her work with the Aberdeen mobile clinic, spent the last two years working at Central Clinic in PE, while studying part time.
Although about 30 years older than most of her fellow students, Kekana achieved an average of 82% for her final exams of the HIV/Aids Counselling and Management Programme. For these outstanding results, Kekana was presented with the award for Best Student (Part Time), and was also commended for her exceptional dedication to her studies.
Patients from Central Clinic were devasted to hear that she would be leaving PE. “She is a mother to us, always friendly and sympathetic...”, “We looked forward to her friendly smile and warm welcome...” are two of the testimonials from former patients of which she is justifiably proud.
PE’s loss is Aberdeen’s gain however, and “Sister Diana”, as she is known, will be back at the Masekane Clinic as from 28 February. Welcome back Sister, Aberdeen is proud of you!
