Access to antiretroviral medication: the hard reality

Prior to my departure I felt that I was very well prepared for working on a HIV and AIDS project, due to support and training given by EIL. 

School talk about HIV and AIDS

Hey all,

I called in to my old secondary school last week and asked if it would be possible to talk to the transition year group about HIV and AIDS with reference to my recent trip to Nigeria. The school were really supportive and organised for me to talk to alll three of the transition year groups the following week, 61 students in total. So I designed a power-point presentation (being conscious of death by power-point), gathered leaflets, posters and my materials and organised statements for a game.

Count down

Hi everyone!  Hope you are all well! Nigeria is still a delightful muddle to me:) I feel like a count down has begun today as I was reminded of the date by one of the students in my computer class. Up until now I have been concentrating on the days of the week to forget the return to Ireland. Work is still so interesting!
