Bridget Joyce's sister is currently a peace corp volunteer at Ukraine. They need donations to help their summer program. The camp is called Camp HEAL (Human Trafficking, Education, AIDS/HIV, and Leadership) and will teach information regarding the biology of HIV, modes of transmission, stigma and discrimination and human trafficking to approximately 120 youth from all areas of Ukraine. While at camp, the campers will also have the opportunity to strengthen their leadership skills and hopefully improve their self-esteem. One of the most exciting parts of this camp is that the participants will attend project design and management sessions during the course of the week. Throughout these sessions, the participants will learn all of the steps necessary to design a successful project that can then be implemented in their own communities. The camp will also be conducted mainly in English, so that participants have the chance to improve their skills. Unfortunately, Ukraine has the highest rate of HIV infection in Europe. In addition, there is an enormous stigma attached to being HIV+ in this country. Therefore, most people choose not to get tested; thus perpetuating the spread of HIV. These are just a few of the reasons why Camp HEAL and other programs that properly educate youth about HIV are so important in Ukraine.
