Hi all,
My name is Luis Davila-Ortega, and I used to work with the Global Youth Action Network (GYAN). Currently I'm working with Junior Achievement of New York in a project focusing on Latin American young immigrants in New York. I am also a freelance consultant on youth development issues.
As taskforce member for the Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GYCA), I helped to create e-courses on project management, political advocacy and fundraising. Let me know if I can be of help to develop these courses. Also, is there an organization or group that is going to host and/or facilitate these courses? I think this is important to ensure this project's sustainability.
Regards,
Luis
