According to Carlos Ponte, National Sales Coordinator of PSI, the action has the objetive to upgrade the activists of the associations who work in partnership with PSI for the distribution of condoms in areas with huge concentration of people, and it is part of the social marketing project of the organization in national level.
The PSI official referred that the action, the first of the kind in this province, complements the other one related to the official launching of the "Legal", a brand of condom, held two months ago at the Santa-clara village, Angola/Namibia border by the same organization.
