	Link: http://inspirationaldifference.blogspot.com/ Born in the early 80's in the South-Western part of Nigeria, Emmanuel Olaoti's interest in Sexual and Reproductive Health as it affects young people and awareness of young peoples vulnerability to STIs and HIV inspired him to form a youth-led, youth-focused community-based organization as an undergraduate student. The organization under his leadership was able to get support and collaborations from different organizations. Through the various programs initiated by the CBO or held in partnership with other organizations, many young people were reached with HIV prevention messages as well as free services such as HIV Counseling & Testing and STI treatment. Emmanuel aspires to be among IAS Governing Council. This is borne out of the conviction that there is still a lot to be done for people infected with/affected by HIV&AIDS in terms of participation in decision making and programs targeting them. He aspire to work as a member of the IAS GC in collaboration with other members to nurture ideas that can lead to an increase in the participation of young people and other vulnerable populations in health-related decisions/policy making especially in Africa. Fellow Colleague! there is absolutely nothing for the youths without the inclusion of youths in the process. Lets spread the word, mobilize, advocate and support his candidacy into the IAS GC...election starts April 19th and ends on May 10th. Two of his powerful advocacy pictures are attached to this email and he is the only young person contesting to be in IAS Governing Council. More information about him on the link above. -- Many Thanks Yours' in Prevention Science Gabriel, ADEYEMO Regional Focal Point - West Africa Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AID (GYCA), a program of the Public Health Institute +234-80-6798-7317 \| gabriel (at) gyca.org www.gyca.org \| www.phi.org GYCA is a youth-led global network of over 6,500 young leaders and adult allies working on youth and HIV/AIDS in 173 countries world-wide.
