* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Organization Profile: KIDS & TEENS CONCERNS (K&TC) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * K&TC is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2002. It was established to promote, support and advance the efforts of government and all other stakeholders involved in children and youth development.
TARGET GROUP: K&TC works with in school, out of school youths and children, with emphasis on street or working children (e.g. apprentices). K&TC provides aids for children by creating an enabling environment and empowering their parents to achieve their full potentials
VISION: K&TC hopes to secure the future. A world where children and young people are supported to achieve their full potentials, assume more control over their lives, and actively contribute to the sustainable development of their communities.
MISSION: To work for and with young people to design and implement projects that will improve the health and socio-economic welfare of all youths, regardless of race, gender, social, religious and ethnic affiliation.
OBJECTIVES: To initiate, design and implement intervention projects in development activities. To produce Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials and communicate intervention projects for target groups. To improve the health of young people and children through educative programs To empower young people economically through programs that will support vocational training, provide business education, and facilitate self-employment ventures. To support the development of a sustainable environment through program that will preserve, develop and manage our abundant human, natural and material resources. To provide psychosocial support for the less privileged and people affected and infected with HIV/AIDS/STIs.
CURRENT PROGRAMME: The current programme is tagged "Omo se suuru" meaning " Be Patient, my friend". It is an adolescent programme on reproductive health, behaviour skills, values, and HIV/AIDS/"Drugs". It is based on a narrative story, role plays and group discussions designed to give adolescents the opportunity to develop a comprehensive and realistic set of values and behaviour skills. This programme is about to finish its design stage.
The programme will be conducted through 36 weekly sessions in groups. A sample of 200 adolescents (gender balance) will be enrolled and will randomly be assigned to small mixed groups of 10 members, 5 boys and 5 girls each who will meet with a trained facilitator. The programme team will consist of a Programme Coordinator, 2 researchers and 10 facilitators which shall be responsible for 2 groups each. The age range for the adolescents shall be 13-15 years. This age range was chosen because they will still be experimenting with new sexual behaviours, which in most cases, are neither routine nor permanent.
OTHER ACTIVITIES: Other activities include advocacy, edutainment, peer education, capacity building, workshops/seminars/conferences, publications and information dissemination, a resource center/library, networking and information sharing, behavioral change communication (BCC).
STRATEGY: K&TC does not re-invent the wheel; rather it combines models from the world of international development with indigenous solutions, to address youth development in its larger social context.
COLLABORATION/PARTNERSHIP: K&TC works with other stakeholders (such as NGOs, government, private sector etc) to achieve its objectives.
FUNDING: K&TC is supported through donations from donor agencies, private organizations, individuals and consultancy services.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE: K&TC has a 7-member Board of Trustees. The Program Manager, assisted by a Programme Management Team (PMT) oversees the daily operations of the organization. K&TC also works with consultants and volunteers. K&TC has a national network of volunteers who are serving as organs of enlightenment in their communities.
K&TC VOLUNTEERS: This is one of the most important elements of a strong civic society. K&TC believes that the basis for such voluntarism exist in Nigeria culture and be harnessed to realistically address the needs of the young people.
K&TC recognizes that many people aspire to contribute positively to a better society and will be willing to assist if offered the right opportunity. Consequently, each person can contribute a little of his or her time, services and resources to development. This is our social responsibility.
K&TC appreciate the contributions of its current volunteers and uses this medium to seek for new volunteers, irrespective of race, gender, social, religious and ethnic affiliation.
We hope to benefit from your valuable contribution.
K&TC operates youth clubs in schools and communities for out-of-school youths, they are empowered to serve as organs of enlightenment to their peers in-school and their communities.
K&TC would like to be connected with people working in health communication and development to facilitate research , acquisition of materials knowledge. Also want training packages on CD-ROM that can be used for training of trainers.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Letter from Hoenyefia Noah Nash about the value of students working in hospitals * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Sir, I am one of the students leaders on campus fighting for students rights. I must say that we as a union have started something that will educate students on AIDS. We had that support from your outfit . We had a video about the South's experience. We are hoping that through these conferences that are going to be organized, students will not be left out since the majority of some students in Ghana have tested positive especially in the university. I also believe that students should be our target for now, since sex activities are high.
Please do you have students helping you care for those patients in your hospital or agency? If we can start that for now they know how AIDS can kill. Please suggest to some policy makers that people should be involved in hospitals etc.

I am a post graduate in Biotechnology (thesis on Tuberculosis) from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a premier medical institute in New Delhi, India. In 1998, I and a colleague who was pursuing his PhD in Biotechnology (Tuberculosis and Leprosy) from AIIMS established a specialized company for Communicating Life Sciences Effectively with the primary focus on healthcare.
For the last 5 years we, at bioPiXL, a division of PiXL Communication Pvt Ltd, have been developing communication strategies, technical copy, complete creatives and production support through print, print collaterals, films, multimedia (with 2D, 3D animation), digital composites and web based communications for our clientele.
We are deeply entrenched with healthcare communications and have now extended our scope of work into implementation, strategic planning and marketing of hospital projects and mobile clinics in collaboration with leading healthcare professionals and state governments.
We would be very keen to join a network such as yours for we feel that sitting in India we have access to a vast population with several health issues to address and there are not many specialized and dedicated communication companies like us in this country. We would benefit by interacting with the more developed healthcare communicators and in turn we could provide insight to the specific healthcare needs and communication tools that are more effective in India and South East Asia.
Organizing workshops and seminars in India and South East Asia to promote healthcare communications in these countries with your support could be another area of widening this network. The possibilities of collaboration are many, the first step is to reach out to each other.

As you know, Ethiopia is one of the poorest nations in the world. Poverty, food insecurity, diseases, draught, backwardness, illiteracy and unemployment are the main problems of the country, above all, HIV/AIDS. Today, in Ethiopia, HIV/AIDS is destroying the working force of the country. Although government and NGOs have been trying to educate the people about the virus and combating strategies in different media, behavioral changes are not seen yet. The spread of the virus are continuing. This indicted those anti-AIDS campaigns should continue in organized ways in the future, especially in the countryside where more than 80% of the society live. Therefore, I, as responsible citizen, believe that every Ethiopian have to have contribute something in the campaign.
For your information, my name is Hailu Zeleke Woldetsadik, 27. I have a BA degree in History from Addis Ababa University and Diploma in Journalism. I run a small advertising agency, Negarit, here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I started the business three months ago. I named the agency "Negarit" because Negarit was the most common way that news, information and decrees were made public in the past in Ethiopia. Negarit is a traditional drum-like instrument that summoned the people to hear public proclamations, information and news. Before I started the business, I was working as a reporter on different private weekly newspapers.
Now under Negarit advertising, we are preparing to publish a monthly magazine that focuses on HIV/AIDS and related issues. The magazine printing costs will cover by the fund that will get from organizations that works with HIV/AIDS. That helps us to distribute the magazine freely throughout the country.
Therefore I hope your website and listserv are helping us by providing information, samples of health communication materials with other colleagues and advice and suggestions from others working in the field. My address is the following:
