THE FIRST ABIA STATE CHILDREN AND YOUTH FORUM ON HIV/AIDS, TB AND MALARIA (ATM) 2008
 
---------GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY 2008--------
 
The first Abia State Children and Youth Forum on HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria (ASCYFATM) tagged “(ATM) 2008” is dedicated to response towards the roadmap for solutions around the issues of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, with children and youth voice, participation and empowerment for sustainable and healthy Abia State has as it’s theme: “Children and Youth Alive & Well” will be celebrated along with the 2008 Global Youth Service Day by Development Generation Africa International (DGAi) – Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) partner and local organizer.
 
The Executive Governor of Abia State, His Excellency, Chief Dr. T.A. Orji (Ochendo) is expected to declare the event open, with his entourage. The Hon. Commissioner for Education, Dr. Max Ndukwe Adindu, and his colleague in the Ministry of Youth Development, and Women Affairs - Abia State and other dignitaries including Dr. Victor Ike Oye, PhD, etc will grace the event. Over 200 children and youth from the three geo-political zones of Abia State and beyond including professionals will be in attendance where children and youth will be discussing and taking action on HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria for change, awareness and development.
 
We encourage you to use your invaluable medium to support, publish and publicize this event for public participation and awareness; as well as impact driven success and coverage of that programme dates: April 25-26, 2008.
 
The event will take place at the Michael Okpara Auditorium Conference Centre, Umuahia, Nigeria.
 
It’s like tsunami everyday here in our state, only that it happens slowly that no one notices, no one pays attention to children and youth issues and challenges, especially around the ATM. So we have to bring the attention ourselves for better voice and accelerated children and youth action towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are DGAi’s mission.
 
The theme: “Children and Youth Alive and Well” represent our intention for a better future for Abia children and youth, while the whole forum on children and youth on ATM will ultimately represent the interest of these young people who bear the brunt of social and economic exclusion while bridging the gap in programming for development.
 
The first of its kind in the state, Abia State Children and Youth Forum on HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria (ATM) is designed to train, equip, and build children and youth capacities against stigma and discrimination as well as provide a platform for their voices to be heard, listened to by stakeholders.
 
It is fuelled by passion, embraced by Abia Children and Youth; and anchored by DGAi’s commitment for children and youth future in the state and beyond.

Launching the Campus Peace Initiative (CPI) in Nigeria

Request for Nomination of Campus Ambassadors for Peace

As part of efforts by the Universal Peace Federation and the
Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and the
Nigeria Chapter of Teachers Without Borders to promote the
realization of a culture in Nigerian educational campuses, plans are
underway to launch the Campus Peace Initiative (CPI), which is a
joint initiative for peace on campus in Nigeria.

The initiative involves the following:
„X Appointment of Campus Ambassadors for Peace, to be drawn
from scholars, students and other members of campus communities in
Nigeria who made a commitment to promoting the culture of peace on
campus, or who pledge to support the campaign for peace on campus
„X Formation of Campus Peace Councils, a deliberative organ to
support the campus governing council and campus senate, which
representatives from all sectors of the campus community
„X Establishment of Campus Peace Centers, where culture of
peace education programs and services can be coordinated on campus.
Other activities of the Campus Peace Centers shall include convening
of Campus Peace Sports Festivals (CPSF), Campus Community Service
for Peace (CCSfP) as well as peace pilgrimages to places of peaceful
interest.

As a beginning, we are calling for nomination of members of the
campus community to be appointed as Campus Ambassadors for Peace.
Such campus diplomats shall be entitled to the recently approved
special vehicle number plates for Peace Ambassadors by the Federal
Government of Nigeria as well as a special life assurance scheme by
the UBA Insurance and the International ID card for Ambassadors for
Peace.

You may send your nominations indicating names, institution and
brief profile to raphael@.... The Campus
Ambassadors for Peace award shall be presented during the formal
launch of the Campus Peace Initiative being planned to take place at
the National Universities Commission auditorium or the University of
Abuja.

As we look forward to receiving your nominations, please remember
that building a culture of peace on campus is a task we must not
fail to fulfill now. Many thanks for your support to this effort.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


XVI INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE CLOSES WITH CALL TO DELIVER ON
UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO PROVEN PREVENTION STRATEGIES, HIV CARE AND TREATMENT

Hopefulness and Impatience Mark Conclusion of Six-Day Meeting of
PLWHAs, Scientists, Activists, Policymakers and Community Caregivers


Toronto [18 August 2006] A sense of hopefulness tempered with growing
impatience marked the end of the XVI International AIDS Conference (AIDS
2006) today, with scientists, clinicians, policymakers, people living
with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and other community leaders and caregivers calling
for an accelerated pace to scale up HIV prevention, care and treatment
programs in resource-limited settings.

"The convergence of global stakeholders at AIDS 2006 has provided an
ideal opportunity to examine the gap between what society is capable of
doing in the face of this unprecedented humanitarian crisis and the
actual level of response," said Conference Co-Chair Dr. Helene Gayle,
outgoing President of the International AIDS Society (IAS) and President and
CEO of CARE USA. "Despite important momentum over the past few years,
the slow pace of progress has led to growing impatience. My hope is that
we will use what we've learned here in Toronto to strengthen the global
response."

"This conference cannot be deemed a success unless we collectively
realize our theme of Time to Deliver," said Conference Co-Chair Dr. Mark
Wainberg, Local Host Board Chair and Director of the McGill University
AIDS Centre. "Indeed, we will have failed unless we dramatically and
rapidly expand by millions the numbers of people around the world with
access to antiretroviral drugs and simultaneously scale up prevention.
Progress cannot be achieved if more people become infected by HIV each year
than the numbers that are able to access treatment."

According to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS),
at the end of 2005 an estimated 39 million people worldwide were living
with HIV/AIDS, the vast majority in developing countries. Last year,
4.1 million people became newly infected with the virus, and 2.8 million
died of AIDS-related illnesses. Of the 6.8 million people living with
HIV in low- and middle-income countries who are in need of
antiretroviral medication (because the level of deterioration of their immune
systems warrants beginning treatment), only 24% (1.6 million total) have
access. The treatment access gap is even greater for children under 15.
Just 8-13% of the 800,000 children in need of HIV treatment have access.
Fewer than one in five-4% to 16%-of people at high risk for infection
have access to effective prevention.

CONFERENCE CONCLUDES WITH RAPPORTEUR REPORTS AND CLOSING PLENARY
During the conference a team of more than 60 rapporteurs prepared
written summaries of conference sessions to record what was discussed and
identify next steps on a range of
important issues. Chief rapporteurs from 13 topic areas presented
weekly summaries this morning, and all reports and summaries are available
online at www.aids2006.org.

As part of the Closing Session, Kecia Larkin, the first Aboriginal
woman in Canada to say publicly that she is HIV positive, issued a
passionate call to action. With her teenage daughter standing next to her,
Larkin implored the international HIV/AIDS community to include Native
peoples in its work. "HIV is an epidemic alive in our communities and I
will no longer be silent about this truth," she said.

Dr. Anders Nordstrom, Acting Director-General for the World Health
Organization, spoke of the need for innovative financing mechanisms and for
national governments to make HIV/AIDS a funding priority. He also
underscored the importance of addressing workforce issues during scale up.
"The most important area to ensure success in achieving universal access
is a skilled and motivated workforce. No improvement in financing or
medical products can make a lasting difference to people's lives until
the crisis in the health workforce is solved."

In his closing keynote address, United Nations (UN) Special Envoy for
AIDS in Africa and former Canadian Ambassador to the UN Stephen Lewis
said, "I challenge you my fellow delegates to enter the fray of gender
inequality. There is no more honourable and productive calling. There is
nothing of greater import in this world. All roads lead from women to
social change, and that includes subduing the pandemic."

"All the knowledge, innovative research and new tools will not be
effective without the political leadership that is essential to halting this
disease," said Dr. Pedro Cahn, who assumes the presidency of the
International AIDS Society today. "We will not accept a Schindler's List for
HIV in which the lives of those who receive treatment are saved and
others are left behind to suffer and die. We must keep pressure on the G8
leaders to follow up on their commitment to achieve universal access to
prevention, care and treatment by 2010." Dr. Cahn is President of
Huésped Foundation and serves as Chief of the Infectious Disease Unit at
Juan A. Fernandez Hospital, and as Assistant Professor in Infectious
Diseases at the Buenos Aires University Medical School in Argentina. 

As part of today's Closing Session AIDS 2006 Co-Chair Dr. Mark Wainberg
and Toronto Mayor David Miller officially transferred the International
AIDS Conference glass globe from Toronto to Mexico City, the host of
AIDS 2008. Accepting the globe for Mexico City and Mexico were IAS
Governing Council member Dr. Luis Soto-Ramirez, of the Molecular Virology
Unit at the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Instituto Nacional de
Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion (INCMNSZ) and Mexican Minister of Health
Julio Frenk.

XVI INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE
The XVI International AIDS Conference, organized by the International
AIDS Society (IAS) and the AIDS 2006 Toronto Local Host, is the biennial
gathering of the global AIDS community. The conference will feature the
presentation of more than 4,500 abstracts and an array of community and
cultural activities. Over 26,000 participants from more than 170

professionals with 10,000-plus members from 153 countries, convenes the world's

Host has been responsible for preparing Toronto and Canada as host city
and country, as well as for a number of programme activities. The
conference co-organizers are UNAIDS, Global Network of People Living with
HIV/AIDS, International Council of AIDS Service Organizations,

Subject: President Obasanjo swears in 5 new ministers, reshuffles cabinet 		nnadomed2007

Send Email Send Email
 
President Olusegun Obasanjo on June 21 2006, swore-in 5 new Ministers and announced a cabinet reshuffle in which three Ministers were redeployed.

The President while announcing the portfolios for the new ministers, emphasized that his administration that had been “leading a liberation struggle” needed “to continue to move forward so that we cover substantial distance before the change of baton.”

The Ministers and their portfolios are as follows,

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode; Minister for Culture and Tourism.

Mr. Bala Kaoje; Minister for Sports.

Mr. Elias Mbam Minister of state for Finance.

Mrs. Salome Jankada Minister of State for Water Resources.

On the cabinet reshuffle,

Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is to take over the Foreign Affairs Ministry from Ambassador Olu Adeniji. She will however, remained the chairperson of the Economic Management Team and would continue to carry out oversight responsibilities for the nation’s external financial institutions and transactions.

Minister of State for Finance, Mrs. Nenadi Usman, was upgraded to Minister of Finance.

Minister for foreing Affairs Ambassador Olu Adeniji would now take charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Minster for Solid minerals Mrs Oby Ezekwesili is to take over the Ministry of Education from Mrs. Nora Chinwe Obaji. She will also continue to oversee the Ministry of Solid Minerals.


Minister of state for Education, Grace Ogwuche, is now to take charge of the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs as a full minister.
The Chairman of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Malam Nasir el-Rufai, Obasanjo would also continue to supervise the Ministry of Commerce until two new ministerial nominees were cleared
by the Senate.

The President in his remarks after the inauguration, reiterated the determination of his administration to continue to wage the liberation struggle; liberation from those things that have not worked in the past; liberation struggle from those things that have not helped this country; liberation from the cabal that has held this country to ransom in the past.

“It is a liberation struggle, and victory which is so close, will be achieved” he said

He emphasized that his administration is “in the mid-way of the land of transformation and has “made some substantial progress”, noting that, “We still have a lot do to do in the time that we have left ahead of us. And there is no time to waste. Where did we start from? We started form the jungle of business as usual, anything goes”.

“The morals of corruption and not many of the parastatals that we had were working. Where are we today? I would say that we are probably in the mid-way of the land of transformation. “But we must also bear in mind that there are many who would want to go back to the days of Egypt. God forbid. He added.


The president restated need to continue to work as harder at this stage adding that, “We have to keep on going because our destination is the land flowing with milk and honey. We have had obstacles in getting there and we are going to have obstacles as we go along”.

“In fact, the faster that we try to move, and the closer we get to the point of change of baton, I believe the more obstacles that we will get. But no amount of obstacles in our way, by the grace of God, we will not be able to surmount”
In a related development, the Senate on June 21, confirmed the appointment of Dr. Aliyu Modibbo from Gombe State and Dr Leslye Obiora from Imo State, as Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Palestine Summer Encounter 2006
Volunteer - Study Arabic - Live with a Family - Be a Witness for Peace!

Over the past two years, ordinary people from around the world have been coming to Palestine to participate in the Summer Encounter, a service learning and cultural immersion program.  Deciding that there was a limit to what they could learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from watching the 6 o'clock news, more and more people have decided they want to see for themselves what life is like in the modern day Holy Land.

While in the country, Palestine Summer Encounter participants live with a local family, study Arabic and volunteer with a local church, school, hospital, nonprofit or humanitarian organization.  They also have an opportunity to visit significant organizations and sites of historic, political and religious significance such as Jerusalem, Jericho, the Galilee, Hebron, Nazareth and the Dead Sea. Participants can join the program for 1, 2 or 3 months.

Additional information can be found at: www.middleeastfellowship.org/pse2006

Please forward this e-mail to anyone else you think might be interested in the Palestine Summer Encounter program.

_____________________________________________

Some of the volunteer projects participants have been involved with include:

1)       helping start a mural project

2)       working with a nonprofit that focuses on conflict resolution and peacemaking

3)       volunteering with the mentally and physically handicapped

4)       assisting with legal research in human rights cases

5)       supervising and mentoring children at local summer camps

6)       preparing grants to help raise money for urgently needed projects

____________________________________________

Deadlines

Because you can begin the program at different times, there are three different deadlines to register.  As a rule of thumb, you'll need to submit your application at least one month prior to the date that you will begin the Summer Encounter program in Palestine.

If you want to begin the program on May 27th, the deadline is April 27th—only 22 days away!

If you want to begin the program for the second session on June 24th the deadline to register is May 24th.  If you want to participate in the last month-long session, which begins July 22nd, the deadline to register is June 22nd. 

Please don't wait until the last minute to apply.  It's never too early to register!  The sooner you decide to join the program, the more money you will save on airfare.  Early applications also make it easier for us to place you in the most appropriate volunteer opportunity.

This message is about Human beings, Democracy, UNHCR, Refugees, The Iraqis,
Islam, Kurds, Human rights, Respect, Money, Donations, Angelina Jolie,
Pavarotti, Giorgio Armani, Donors, Peace, History, Campaigns and about you if
you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the
last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The
last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially
refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks
publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees
in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I
helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used
the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my
free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my
sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of
the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect
money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must
stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can
see here:
http://news.net4free.org/unhcr4

Where you can read the rest of this message as web page.

For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I
invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my
campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The
campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.ch especially
after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

The refugees allege that UNHCR staff is selling most of the food items they are
supposed to be supplied.
"They aren't supplying sufficient food to us because they sell most of the food
items," they allege: http://allafrica.com/stories/200503140214.html

Here is another example: Burmese Refugees Withdraw Protest Against UNHCR 
http://www.mizzima.com/archives/news-in-2005/news-in-april/12-April05-22.htm

"We make demonstration and fast because the UNHCR office in Cairo did nothing
for our problem..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4440730.stm

Together we will build better world.

Dear Inspired Colleagues,
 
It is very essential to have the rural persons educated
on HIV/AIDS. So much has been done at the urban centres leaving
the rural people with very little knowledge on HIV/AIDS apart from
the basics on the same. I am working with an organization that is
researching on HIV/AIDS. It is clear from the information collected
that there are still myths on it. But with much dissemination of
information the people have been educated about what HIV is, what AIDS
is, transmission methods, ARTS, importance of VCT, how to form
support groups that have helped provide hope for both for the infected
and affected.

It is also important to help start up economic generating projects
In rural areas to ensure self reliance. Unless knowledge is spread
Far and wide then HIV is here to stay. Hence also the essence of
Taking ICTs to the rural areas to ensure shared information.

World AIDS Day

Observe 2005 World AIDS Day on December 1

This year join people around the world in planning 2005 World AIDS Day activities at your school, parish or diocese to spread the word about the devastating impact of this disease on individuals and communities.

CRS' 2005 World AIDS Day web portal provides resources you can use to plan your events like fact sheets, bulletin quotes, activities to do with a group, prayer resources, lesson plans, Church statements, etc.

Today the global picture on HIV/AIDS is bleak: in the two decades since the epidemic began, over 20 million people around the world have died. In 2004, 39 million people were living with HIV/AIDS. Sub-Saharan Africa is hardest hit, with 25 million people living with this disease. Other regions including Asia and Latin America are seeing a rapid increase in new infections. Women are infected at about the same rate as men. They account for nearly half of those living with the disease around the world. On the up side, since 2001, global funding for HIV/AIDS has increased from roughly US$ 2.1 billion to an estimated US$ 6.1 billion in 2004. This year, through its HIV AIDS programs, CRS will help nearly 12 million people affected by the pandemic--nearly 2 million directly and 10 million indirectly.

G-8 Leaders Reach Compromise on Africa Aid
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer 

GLENEAGLES, Scotland - World leaders, shaken by deadly bombings in
London, shortened the final day of their economic summit on Friday to
allow British Prime Minister Tony Blair to rush back to chair a
government panel dealing with the attacks.

The Group of Eight leaders, struggling amid the attacks to keep to
their meeting's mission, put the finishing touches on a major aid
package for Africa. They failed to overcome stiff resistance from the
Bush administration to launching a more aggressive attack on global
warming.

On Thursday, Blair had left the summit for several hours to confer with
officials at Scotland Yard and calm a nation shocked by the worst
attacks on the capital since World War II. Though he later returned to
the meeting at this exclusive resort about 450 miles from London,
business was not proceeding as planned.

Blair's closing press conference was moved up by an hour so the British
leader could go to London for an emergency meeting of a government
committee that is dealing with the bombings. The nearly simultaneous,
deadly blasts rocked London's subway and tore open a double-decker bus
during Thursday's rush hour.

President Bush, who along with the other leaders gathered here had
expressed strong condemnation for the attacks, was leaving for
Washington earlier than scheduled. A few G-8 events also were canceled.

Also reflecting the London attacks, the series of communiques scheduled
to be issued as the Group of Eight summit drew to a close will include
a beefed-up section on terrorism. Aides to the leaders worked late into
the night on this document, which was described as a progress report on
what their countries are doing in the global war on terrorism.

Within hours of the London bombings, Bush and the other leaders issued
a special joint statement that was read by Blair with his summit
colleagues gathered somberly behind him. It condemned "these barbaric
acts" and vowed, "We are united in our resolve to confront and defeat
this terrorism that is not an attack on one nation, but on all nations
and on civilized people everywhere."

"We will not yield to these people," Bush said later in his own remarks
to reporters — a sentiment echoed by a chorus of other leaders.

"Our collective freedom has come under attack today by those who would
use violence and murder to force extremism upon the world," said
Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Despite the changes to the summit schedule, all of the leaders stressed
that the terrorist attacks would not stop them from accomplishing what
they set out to do at the meeting.

Before the final joint statements were issued, the G-8 leaders were
meeting with the leaders of five African nations over ways to provide
greater support for the troubled continent.

The leaders were expected to pledge to double assistance by 2012 to
reduce poverty and fight disease in Africa, the world's poorest
continent.

That meets a key Blair objective, though the pledge doesn't mention the
British leader's hope of increasing aid from the current $25 billion to
$50 billion. Also left out of the pledge of support for Africa will be
Blair's other goal of getting all summit countries to commit to raising
foreign aid to an amount equivalent to 0.7 percent of each country's
economy by 2015.

The United States, which is now giving an amount equal to 0.16 percent
of its economy, objected to the setting a numerical target.

Even less progress was made on Blair's other summit goal — getting
America on board with the other countries to make major reductions in
emissions of the gases that some have blamed for global warming.

According to a draft communique on climate change obtained by The
Associated Press on Friday, the United States, the only G-8 country
that has not ratified the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on global warming, was
successful in rejecting Blair's call for setting specific targets and a
timetable for reducing greenhouse emissions.

The communique was to acknowledge the split between the United States
and the other countries in a section that said "those of us who have
ratified the Kyoto Protocol, welcome its entry into force and will work
to make it a success." That was the document's only mention of the
treaty put into effect this February. Bush contends the Kyoto accord's
curbs on greenhouse emissions would wreck the U.S. economy.

Still, supporters of more aggressive action said that the United States
had agreed to a document that stated "while uncertainty remains in our
understanding of climate science, we know enough to act now." French
President Jacques Chirac called that compromise language a "visible,
real evolution" in the American position.

Environmental groups complained that the statement omitted Blair's
objectives of obtaining commitments to cut greenhouse emissions by
specified levels.

Friends: Please contact Samuel Adebayo of DPI for more info, as needed (adebayo@... </ym/Compose?To=adebayo@...&YY=69641&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b> ), and subscribe to the Yahoogroups forum mentioned below for this consultation. Thanks! **************************************************************** The annual African Development Forum (ADF) serves as a critical meeting-point for African leaders to discuss and reflect on the challenges faced by Africa and progress made with addressing them in order to strengthen on-going initiatives and workout strategies for future interventions. The agenda for each ADF is usually cross-cutting and thematic issues focused on during sessions are based on the overall conference theme and regional priorities. The theme of this year’s ADF is "Youth Leadership in the 21st Century" and it will be held in Addis Ababa between October 30th to November 4th 2005. This is a unique opportunity to reflect on the diverse initiatives of African youth across various issues, in order to seek the best ways to forge a partnership of young leaders working on various issues, so as to draw from their skills, exposure, expertise and experience to support the efforts of their governments towards national development. Moreso, as the ADF comes just a few weeks after the tenth year review of the World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY), it will be a great meeting for young leaders in Africa to work out practical ways to integrate and further the WPAY priorities at the national level. This year’s ADF is also an opportunity to launch a regional youth Partnership for Development and a platform to further the objectives of NEPAD, the MDGs and National Poverty Reduction Strategies. We invite you to join an active five week long dialogue from July 11 to August 19 between young leaders from across Africa, which will focus on ICT4D, Health (including HIV/AIDS/SRH), Environmental Sustainability, Education for All, and Youth Employment/Entrepreneurship. Discussions each week will focus on the situation of issues relating to each thematic area and as it affects young people in African countries, and weekly summaries will be sent to the group in English and French. We will as well explore the possibility of translating them into Kiswahilli. We hope that this discussion will help us to assess the situation of youth in the region and evolve strategic recommendations which can be shared with the young people and leaders that will be participating at the ADF. To join the online discussion, please subscribe by sending blank email to: developmentpartnership-subscribe@yahoogroups.com </ym/Compose?To=developmentpartnership-subscribe@yahoogroups.com&YY=69641&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b> or at www.yahoogroups.com/groups/developmentpartnership.

Dear health professionals,

 

According to Henry's mail, "work fast'' I quite agreed with him that we should fasten our belt on the effort we are making towards health issues but the most pressing problem from my own view is the issue of mother-to-child transmission of HIV that is on the increase.

 

The rate at which prevalence rate increases in infants/children is quite alarming and the most annoying aspect of these is that is something that would've being prevented.

 

How are we going to fight the scourge together from the grass root, because in one way or the other we all affected and at risk.

 

 

Thanks

 

Ruth G. Ezinwa

VATICAN CITY - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, a hard-line
guardian of conservative doctrine, was elected the new pope Tuesday
evening in the first conclave of the new millennium. He chose the
name Pope Benedict XVI and called himself "a simple, humble worker."
An Inauguration Mass for the new pope was set for Sunday at 10 a.m.

Ratzinger, the first German pope since the 11th century, emerged
onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, where he waved to a wildly
cheering crowd of tens of thousands and gave his first blessing as
the church's 265th pope. Other cardinals clad in their crimson robes
came out on other balconies to watch him.

"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the
cardinals have elected me — a simple, humble worker in the vineyard
of the Lord," he said. "I entrust myself to your prayers," the pope
said.

"The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient
means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers,"
the new pope said in his first public address. "I entrust myself to
your prayers."

The crowd responded by chanting "Benedict! Benedict!"

This is indeed a happy monent The world to celebrate!

Telling an HIV-infected Child of His Diagnosis

I am following a family where both parents and a child are HIV-
infected. The child is now 8-years-old. The parents have not
informed the child of his diagnosis. When is the most appropriate
time to tell an HIV-infected child of his diagnosis?

The Committee on Pediatric AIDS of the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends disclosure of the diagnosis to all HIV-
infected children in an age appropriate manner. Younger children
should receive simple explanations about HIV, and as the child ages
and becomes more mature, explanations can become more detailed.
Experience has demonstrated that children who are fully aware of
their condition from an early age often cope better with their
illness, and understand that the disease and its treatment are just
part of their daily lives.

Parents sometimes are reluctant to disclose a diagnosis of HIV even
to older children. Reasons for this reluctance include fear of
disclosure of the diagnosis by the child to others in the community,
concern that the child will become depressed or give up hope when
made aware of the diagnosis, and feelings of guilt over the way in
which the child acquired the infection. It is important to discuss
issues surrounding disclosure of the diagnosis with the parents in a
non-judgmental way, acknowledging that they are uniquely suited to
understand the implications of disclosure for their child. If the
parents decide that they are not ready for disclosure of the
diagnosis to the child, the health professionals should revisit the
topic again in three or six months. It is important that the health
care team convey a consistent message regarding the importance of
disclosure, as well as their support for the parents and family in
working through this difficult decision.

Approved Medications to Treat HIV Infection
Anti-HIV (also called antiretroviral) medications are used to
control the reproduction of the virus and to slow the progression of
HIV-related disease. Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) is
the recommended treatment for HIV infection. HAART combines three or
more anti-HIV medications in a daily regimen. Anti-HIV medications
do not cure HIV infection and individuals taking these medications
can still transmit HIV to others.

Anti-HIV medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) fall into four classes:

Class  Generic Name Brand and Other Names Manufacturer FDA Approval
Date
Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs)
NNRTIs bind to and disable reverse transcriptase, a protein that HIV
needs to make more copies of itself.
