Internship
with
HIV/AIDS Awareness and Care

collaboration with the local community, a number of local HIV/AIDS
projects seek to foster awareness about HIV/AIDS by offering free
training
programs for the community. Ideally overseas
HIV and AIDS interns in Kenya
are first exposed to the main issues surrounding HIV
and
AIDS mainly in the first
week.
In
subsequent
weeks, international volunteers in Kenya accompany local
staff in
their routine activities. Those doing internship abroad with the HIV
program will
participate in
offering free medical clinics for patients,
families and people wanting to test for HIV and AIDS. Overseas
volunteers and international interns also participate in home
visits with the patients and
families to provide treatment, food, and care and sometimes to help
with
home
chores.
International
interns will also be involved in teaching
about
Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV and AIDS, and teaching
about sexuality, to youths
and parents. Overseas interns and volunteers abroad with the HIV and
AIDS program in
Kenya should also
be prepared to visit with and provide support to children; orphans of
