Mission
The HIV/AIDS Working Group brings together interested volunteers to help plan and assist other volunteers throughout Ukraine working in every project sector to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in their communities. The working group assists volunteers to educate their community on HIV and AIDS by collecting, creating, planning and distributing resources, activity ideas, event information and NGO contacts working on HIV/AIDS awareness throughout Ukraine.
Activities
Some of the working group's activities include:
- A vast collection of HIV/AIDS resources and lesson plans that continues to grow
- Quarterly production of "the Cure" newsletter, which contains stories, project ideas and other HIV/AIDS resources from volunteers throughout Ukraine
- American Football Tournament for volunteers to help raise money and awareness of HIV/AIDS in Ukraine
- Annual HIV/AIDS poster contest
- Camp HEAL, an annual summer camp that trains Ukrainian youth on leadership, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, healthy lifestyles and project design and management
Membership and Meetings
The group meets 3-4 a times year, but works throughout the year on various projects. We are constantly looking for new ideas to help volunteers and Ukrainians talk about the seriousness of the HIV/AIDS problem in Ukraine, and are looking for dedicated, interested and creative people to join the group!
