Dear Fred and All,

Hello and wonderful to hear from you! I have been thinking of you, and have
not forgotten abt that editing I promised (too long ago, my apologies).

Excellent news abt attending and mobilizing young people you know! You are
also active at Facebook and Ned, so if you are able to put in a good word
there, that would be fantastic too.

I want to make sure to invite you to the ActALIVE (www.actalive. org) forum,
where REPACTED, David S, Andrius, and others (at HH-Mendenyo- LFEO) are
already. ActALIVE is a nonprofit whose members around the world use arts and
media to address HIV/AIDS and the MDGs.

I believe that you mentioned hoping to harness the talents of young people
in Uganda to address HIV/AIDS, so we would be delighted if you would join
us. If interested (and this applies to anyone reading this note), please
subscribe by sending a blank mail to actalive-subscribe@ yahoogroups. com.

With greatest thanks and blessings always, Janet

the discussion will build on a similar chat that Serina and Daudi
organized back in April of this year which asked the following
question: "how can citizen media be used to supplement and improve
the mainstream media's coverage of the AIDS epidemic?
>
> This chat will start out focusing on two Rising Voices grantee
projects, REPACTED in Nakuru, Kenya and AIDS Rights Congo based in
Brazzaville. We will learn how both organizations have implemented
blogging and video outreach programs to spread awareness about their
initiatives in AIDS prevention and advocating for the rights of HIV-
positive individuals.

http://rising. globalvoicesonli ne.org/projects/ aids-rights- congo/
>
> Other discussion topics include: What are the factors to weigh
when HIV-positive bloggers go public about their status? How can
blogging support networks form online? What about online forums?
What are other new media tools, such as mapping mashups, that can be
used effectively?
>
> If there are other topics that you would like to discuss during
the chat, please respond with your ideas. I hope that as many of you
as possible can make it.
>
> As a primer to the conversation I encourage you all to take a look
at a recent post written by Juliana Rincón on Global Voices about
AIDS awareness through video. Especially fascinating is a video
podcast produced by QAFBeijing, which interviews South African grand
justice Edwin Cameron, the country's only government official who
has gone public about his HIV status.

members of the Breaking the Silence in Kwa Mashu project about the
fear of discussing HIV status in their community.
