HIV/AIDS Village Education

pioneering Ghana program uses drama,
writing and personal handheld computers

Bongo, northern Ghana: original idea by a Peace Corps volunteer:

let students learn about HIV prevention on their own, using simple presentations in their language on handheld computers

encourage personal writing, poetry, drama presentations by young people, teaching them valuable technical and personal skills

public marches, trips, poster contests, newsletter desktop publishing provide youth motivation, hope for the future
