Impressions du PEER ASSIST

Le 11 octobre, par une matinée fraîche et ensoleillée, Gaston, Laurence et moi avons poussé la porte du Cercle des voyageurs. Tout le monde (ou presque) était déjà présent et l'odeur du thé à la menthe embaumait l'atmosphère. J'ai été accueillie chaleureusement par chacun d'entre eux et j'ai pu enfin mettre une image sur ces noms que je connaissait déjà. Un peu impressionnée dans mon coin par ces "grands" esprits, j'attendais en silence, un peu curieuse, ce qui allait se… Continue

Personal risk assessment in Guyana

For some time I had heard about the personal risk assessment exercise being facilitated with different groups in Guyana as part of the AIDS Competence Process (ACP), and I was curious to learn what it was like, how it was

facilitated, and how it fit in with the process. Fortunately I had an opportunity to observe it in action during my second visit to Guyana in late September.

The Use of Words

For instance, when Marijo and her team constructed our website in Spanish, she did not translate the English website, but rethought our whole content in their own language.



To facilitate our collective learning on the… Continue
