Young People Speak Out (on HIV/AIDS): Bangkok IAC Report/GYCA
-------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friends,

Hello and here is a vital report and document for youth activism
on HIV/AIDS, which has developed from the July 2004 Interna-
tional HIV/AIDS Conference in Bangkok. The Global Youth Coali-
tion on HIV/AIDS, forming in the aftermath of that meeting, is
now meeting for e-consultations on setting up the structure and
activities of the GYCA. We are in Week 3 of 4, but you can still
join us by sending a blank mail to
mailto:GYCAconsultation-subscribe@groups.takingitglobal.org and
joining the general forum by sending a blank mail to
mailto:youthatbangkok-subscribe@groups.takingitglobal.org. Many
of the groups/orgs to whom I am posting now are already members
of the developing GYCA, and we hope that all who receive this
will join the coalition.

With many thanks and all best wishes,

Janet Feldman
Director
KAIPPG/International

Dear all,

Below is an update on the work of the African Regional Youth
Initiative in order to (1) share an example of how young people
in Africa and the U.S. have organized and set a structure to de-
sign and implement effective programs and partnerships in Af-
rica, and (2) seek involvement and collaboration with other or-
ganizations to replicate program models in and outside of Af-
rica. Inquiries on partnership or involvement on any ARYI ac-
tivities can be sent to Neema Mgana mailto:nmgana@yahoo.com
