HIV_AIDS_Caribbean

Web site

The more I use the Pulitzer web site on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean, the more impressed I am with its depth.  Listening again to the Paul Farmer interviews inspired me to get Tracy Kidder's book on Dr. Farmer, Mountains Beyond Mountains.  My inclination is to say that the word "hero" should be used with great reluctance, but if there is such a thing as a hero, Paul Farmer seems to have those qualities.

Great job by Antigone in enlightening us about the issues in the Caribbean and in South Florida.

Share your experience teaching Heroes in your classroom.

Dear teachers,

Thanks so much for working with us to bring Heroes of HIV into your classrooms. It was a terrific experience for us, and we hope it was valuable to you and your students.

Please tell us about your experience using Heroes of HIV in your classroom. What was most challenging about this? What was most valuable? How can we do it better next time? Please share as much detail as possible about your classroom setting and your students.

Getting Started

Welcome teachers! The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting is looking forward to working with you all as you implement our "HIV in the Caribbean" Global Gateway project.

The larger project comprises of two reporting projects in the Caribbean: the first in the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Florida, and the second in Jamaica.

This weblog is designed as a forum for teachers to share ideas, lesson plans and lessons learned with each other.

Any teacher who uses a Global Gateway project is invited to be an author on this forum.

Please e-mail us if you'd like to join:

globalgateway@pulitzercenter.org

As an "author" you can post entries, insert pictures and documents, and start your own threads.

Comments are open to everyone, and we encourage you to take advantage of this open platform to share your teaching experiences and, hopefully, learn from each other how best to use the materials provided by the Pulitzer Center.

We hope you will help us make this as valuable as it can be by telling us how we can make it better in the future. Please e-mail the above address if you have some ideas you'd like to share.
