This week Winnie and the General left for two months to the United States to meet with organizations affiliate with Maitri; U.N., Harvard University’s Public Health, Hinkley Institute of Politics, Salt Lake City, San Francisco. Before they left, we gave them a gift, a book of all the projects going on at Maitri and the projects we participated in. Included in the book were quotes or experiences by each of the interns. For the past two weeks, I've working on Adobe Photoshop to design the pages. My first graphic design gig (not in research)! I am so happy with how the book turned out that I might have to do this on the side...Pages up top
This morning we did a workshop with the students at Modern School. This was a very different audience than the students in Shillong. There were only 30-40 students there and they took the class as students who were interested in social work so they were very much aware of HIV/AIDS. The students were living in the Delhi and very much apart of affluent families. I think that the workshop design should have been done differently given the demographics and interests of the group. This would include more brainstorming discussions and how to be involved. Viraj, the ninth grade intern, created a facebook group for Maitri. I don’t send many group invites on Facebook, but if you are on, make sure to join Maitri Group! This NGO addresses HIV/AIDS issues in a multi-faceted way through women’s empowerment, health intervention, policy making, education. Domestically and internationally. Not an easy thing to balance...

Hi Nancy,
How do I get in touch with someone from Maitri to help us with organizing sex-ed workshops across the country as part of a campaign.
I am a musician and will be launching an album in Oct with a lot of buzz and we are planning to visit several colleges to promote it.
We care a great deal about women empowerment, especially in India and we do feel that sex-education is VITAL to young minds so prevent sex abuse, crimes and avoid STDs and unwanted pregnancies.
Do let me know. Thanks
regards,
Howard

That's a great approach to tackle this problem. I think you should check out Sightsavers India NGO. They are working for the betterment of the blind and disabled community and they would be a great partner in your initiative.
