The second major crisis being faced by Haiti

Every death diminishes us. It is much more painful when it is untimely

and catastrophic in nature.

The poorest country of the western hemisphere (Haiti) has had the worst

earthquake of the last two centuries anywhere in the Globe.

Let us all do our level best to mobilize all types of support at the different

levels (especially though the Indian Diaspora in the USA and Canada)

which our fellow humans desperately need at these troubled… Continue

Beginning to introduce myself: DD Advocacy

This is my first blog entry. I first wrote it as comment in response to Laurence Gilliot, but, then, realized that if enhanced a little, it might serve to introduce myself, at least one facet of my life.

I look forward to spending more time on the aidscompetence site, perhaps finding community that embraces our similarities while respecting our differences.

Currently, most of my "free" time is required by work to save from closure our State operated campuses for people… Continue

Women and Girls: The vulnerable groups

Dear all,
good day. In 2007an HIV/AIDS screening survey was carried out in Cameroon. 7819 people were tested for HIV. 1210 were declared positive. Of this number, 915 were women and 215 men. Alarming isn't it.
More action needs to be taken for these figures to reduce.
Think about it.

Peer education in the fight against HIV/AIDS

Peers have great potential to influence opinion in their communities and physically deliver services and effect change. Drama and songs were powerful instruments used by peers in a sensitisation campaign to create a greater awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS in some schools in Yaounde - Cameroon.
peer engagement increases their sense of responsible behaviour vis a vis each other and thus the likelyhood of prevention.

In this age bracket, girls are the most vulnerable. Ignorance, poverty and high illiteracy level are the root causes.

Community + SALT + Me = All equal human valuable and lovable

When I decided to join the Constellation Team, SALT principles were the key for my passionate attraction. I even thought that it was the only thing that was making this team functioning. One might question why that was so evident comparatively to the other set of marvelous activities that the ACP team develops. And that is right, I also question the same. I never understand why, I only know that it is so impressing to the stage that once you start you get so involved and don’t even think of… Continue

We were wrong....but now lo longer; on self assessment

To have JL with us at Manonjaya sub district at West Java Indonesia is one of wonderfull learning for me.

We did self assessment. We were all up set since it was very difficult to see whether community we talked about know and care about adolescent reproductive health (ARH). We reviewed our plan of actions. We did all but how could we assess our progress....SILENT, and I discussed with JL and other visiting facilitators.

OALAA...no need to asses others. No need to see whether… Continue
