-----------------------------
As the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to increase the vulnerability of
children, the symposium Children and HIV/AIDS: Action Now, Action How
is an urgent call to collective action on behalf of children affected
by AIDS.
The symposium, jointly hosted by CCABA, The Teresa Group and La Casa
de la Sal, will provide a two-day forum on August 1st and 2nd, 2008
at the Hotel Nikko México for information sharing, collaboration and
networking in order to strengthen the response to children's needs.
It will present new findings, such as those collected by the Joint
Learning Initiative on Children and HIV/AIDS. It will bring together
service providers, donors, researchers, advocates and policy leaders
working within affected communities and on national, regional and
global platforms. And it will increase opportunities for stronger
linkages between program design and implementation, policy, research,
and advocacy efforts, while never forgetting that the most effective,
responsive and far-reaching interventions are led by front-line
organizations in collaboration with national governments.
This 2-day think-tank and networking opportunity is for anyone
working on issues related to children and HIV/AIDS and who is
concerned about how to improve national responses at all levels of
society. The topics and discussions raised here will resonate in the
subsequent International AIDS Conference, where they will be
championed in a plenary speech on children and HIV/AIDS given by
Professor Linda Richter.
The symposium is being organized by The Teresa Group in partnership
with the Coalition on Children Affected by AIDS and La Casa de la
Sal. Simultaneous translation from English to Spanish will be
provided in a limited number of sessions.
The application deadline is July 15, 2008 - early registration is
encouraged as space is limited.
