HIV/AIDS Camp

Carol received grant money to conduct an HIV/AIDS camp for 6 high schools. She worked for three months to organize and implement the two-day camp for 220 students.
Thailand has a severe epidemic of AIDS and Peace Corps encourages HIV/AIDS education. Students had to attend 4 classes each day as well as participate in two large group activities. Carol enlisted the help of mental health workers, hospital workers, and all the teachers of her school. It was a monumental task, but Carol pulled it off! Carol found a young man with AIDS and with the help of a social worker, he addressed the students as the keynote speaker (top picture).
