I am excited to announce that videos made for World AIDS Day 2007 by students in the US, Kenya and Uganda will be featured at the conference this week. This was one of the advocacy initiatives that PHR’s Student Program has collaborated on with our partner organizations in East Africa. American and East African students created video postcards that were delivered to the US Congress and called on them to make the right to health a reality.
Conference organizers have set up a Youth Networking Zone that will feature multimedia created by youth HIV/AIDS advocates. The videos created by these students are an amazing example of the powerful voice of health professional students in advocacy.
