How do GSC community development volunteers get and provide education about HIV/ AIDS and Sustainable Agriculture/Food Security?
During orientation and training GSC international volunteers receive instruction about how to become trainers as well as the technical information required. In terms of content, the focus of teaching HIV/AIDS prevention and education training is prevention and knowing one’s status. This requires that we teach the basic biological facts about the virus, the progression of the disease in the body, the primary modes of transmission, and the most effective methods of prevention. GSC overseas volunteers use a variety of methods to get our message across including games, role-play, lectures, question and answer sessions, music, and skits. In the end, the goal is to give the training group the tools they need to make informed decisions. The focus of the Tanzania sustainable agriculture and food security training is small-scale bio-intensive agriculture (BIA) and how this technology can provide both healthy food and additional income with a reduced requirement of labor and financial investment
