Fighting AIDS in Botswana
Public Health, AIDS, Missions！You will be enlightened and overwhelmed by the entire project that is going on in Botswana!
Click on the link, that will lead you to the second chapter of the "Fighting AIDS Project in Botswana".
It's a good model in public health effort in introducing health programs, and also a good social model for social workers to work on. It had shown clearly how stigma had caused spreading of HIV, and how reducing stigma could help people to get treatment.
And of course, we should not minus the cost of this special person, Ernest Darkoh, started the MASA program by faith. He was only 32, and he worked from sketch, persisting the effort in the threats of failures. Click here to find out more about Ernest Darkoh and his effort.
I will continue to lead you into the world of missions pertaining with global health issue, stay with me! Shalom

Prostitution and AIDS
While I was searching the relationship of what epitopes to do with mombasa prostitutes, I came across with a sharp article by Suki Falconberg, an ex-prostituted woman, a Ph.D., "Prostitution and AIDS".
The article was bitter, but spoke clearly and loudly and did make sense of every word that she claimed.
From a social aspect, I see the effect of labeling on a person, as well as the stigma caused by labeling.
Health protection and procedures alone can never really alleviate the problems of the root. Social workers alone can never really relief the society illness by large. There is a need of policy, social capital, an intrusion of the government to make things workable and durable. Just my shallow thoughts.......
