I had a second meeting today with Piya, Founder and CEO of TeachAIDS. Have I told you how amazing this organization is? It is absolutely fabulous! I's so excited to be working with two incredible organizations, Seeds of Empowerment and TeachAIDS. During the last meeting Piya and I discussed extending my trip to Zambia. After a very nice conversation with the people from United Airlines, my ticket was changed and Zambia is added to the "Bethany goes to Africa" adventure.
This is a little about TeachAIDS from Piya.
Founded at the Stanford University School of Education, TeachAIDS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to educate individuals about HIV/AIDS prevention despite social and cultural challenges. TeachAIDS utilizes a rigorous, research-based process to develop medically-accurate, culturally-tailored HIV/AIDS educational animations. Based on original Stanford IRB-approved research, these interactive applications were developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts in the fields of education, communications, public health, and medicine to target young learners. In partnership with international organizations, and incorporating the voices of global celebrities, TeachAIDS disseminates free animated curricula to educators around the world. TeachAIDS materials have been tested with tremendous success in numerous developing regions and are currently used in more than 25 countries, including South Africa, China, Rwanda, Botswana, India and the United States. www.teachaids.org
