http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106273/\nThis is a really great movie about AIDS... from it's very first beginnings (who they think originally spread it around the world) up to 1993.  It is a wonderful movie, whether you use it in your presentation or not- but putting a few minutes of this movie into your presentation would really get some attention!  I hope that might help!

You could talk about local events going on over the summer break that students may be doing or may be interested in signing up for. For example, find out local camps or citywide events (festivals, celebrations, volunteer opportunities, charity functions, etc.) that are happening in your area that would be of interest to the students. You could use this as a fun topic that relates to 'good behavior' by suggesting that these events are positive ways to channel student energy and prevent kids from getting into trouble because they are bored.

here's a cure to aids:\n\nSEX EDUCATION.\n\nit's very, very poor in most places, especially (emphatically) in the USA.\n\nif there was only a wide enough reach, there would be half as many STDs, and barely any HIV infections.

On the basis that you were indeed asking for websites which the previous respondent seemed to forget, here is one that might provide some useful info.  It is my own site, a little in need of a pruning but has a substantial amount of HIV information.\n\nhttp://www.mark.lineisp.co.uk/hiv1.htm

http://www.teenwire.com/\nhttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/medicalinfo/\n\nIf anyone wants more information on HIV and other STIs, birth control, condoms, safer sex ... even how to talk to your partner about these things ... these are good sites. There is even an animated video of how to use a condom correctly. If USED CORRECTLY, condoms are 99% effective!

the government and ngos have been spreading awareness about aids through the medium of television and news paper. but then they don't reach the poor and illiterate. for that volunteers are needed who can go from door to door and explain the use of condoms and how to protect one from aids.\n\nbut its not true that this problem is restricted only to slum dwellers. its present even in the upper classes.\nthis problem is wide spread....\nwe have to take time out to help aids affected people and spread awareness

I used to intern for this organization called Concilio Latino de Salud (Translation: Latino Awareness of Health) they try to go out and tell the people about health problems including HIV and aids. www.concilio.org is where you can check them out. There is another non-profit organization called Homeward Bound can learn more about them at http://www.hbphx.org/index.asp They assist homeless and domestic violence families with children achieve economic independence, secure long-term, safe, decent, affordable housing and break multi-generational cycles of homelessness and domestic violence.\n\n\nP.S. These are just two great programs here in Phoenix. Good luck and I hope the information gets out there!

Please view the website that I have listed.  While most of the materials are for older students and adults, maybe some of the activities can be adapted for preschool children.  \n\nInstead of using the basic "study circles" format maybe the students could do art projects to talk about their community and feelings.  Or, plan activities where the students have to work together to figure out puzzles or play games.  Once you get children started they usually figure out things on their own.  I've worked with young students for the past few years through the organization Junior Achievement, its not directly related this organization taught students about entrepreneurship and personal finance, but I learned that young people are very attuned to what goes on in their community.\n\nHave a community day/show and tell were students bring in something from home that explains their culture.  Try to get parents involved if you can.  Afterall, "It takes a village to raise a child."  As I am sure you are probably aware, lessons come in many forms they don't always have to center around pointing out differences and saying its bad to make judgements.  Just show them the different cultures that are out there through story, food, clothing, and other fun activities.

I'm an HIV counselor...do you have questions that I can answer? If you are HIV+, you can also go to your local HIV organization and ask to speak to someone in peer support-it is people who also have HIV or AIDS who offer support to others.  If you have specific questions, repost them and I will look for them.

(m)\n\nImmediate causes\nThe immediate causes of the epidemic are linked to HIV´s modes of transmission. These include unprotected penetrative se; transmission from mother to child before, during or after birth; and transmission through transfusions and the sharing of blood or blood products.\n\nUnderlying causes include societal denial and weak political commitment; poverty and social inequality; gender divisions; population movement as a result of famine, war and other causes; human rights abuse; and lack of dialogue about sex and sexuality. All of these make it likely that infection continues to spread.\n\nYoung people may be especially vulnerable to infection. They may not receive appropriate kinds of sex and personal relationship education. They may lack access to relevant social support including youth friendly counselling and sexual health services. Young women (and some young men) may be at particular risk through involvement in sex work and prostitution. The tendency for older and more sexually experienced men to prefer younger sexual partners also enhances their vulnerability.\n\nImmediate effects\nHIV and AIDS have serious and immediate effects within the family and household. As parents and young people are affected, household income may fall. Additional costs of healthcare, funerals and transport to clinics and hospital may have to be met. While many households develop new ways of coping, other are severely stressed. The changing balance of labour within the home may encourage less labour intensive and less nutritious crops to be grown. Widows and elderly people may lack financial and moral support when, as the sole adult within the family, they have to take on added responsibilities for the care of children and young people.\n\nIn order to help families cope, children, and especially girls, may be kept away from school. Yong people who are orphaned as a result of AIDS may face new risks. They may lack access to a stable and secure social network of adults and may be vulnerable to child labour, exploitation, prostitution and sexual abuse.\n\nThe effects of HIV and AIDS on the health sector can be dramatic. As the demand for health services rises, the capacity of the health care system to respond may diminish. Loss of staff through HIV-related illness and death may compound the difficulties facing already over-crowded hospitals and clinics. While new and potentially more effective drugs have been found, these remain out of reach of all but the richest people in the majority of developing countries.\n\nLonger-term effects\nIn the longer-term, HIV and AIDS will have a profound demographic impact. In the most seriously affected countries, life expectancy has already been reduced and past gains in infant mortality are being eroded and even reversed.\n\nAt the macro-economic level, HIV and AIDS can cause a decline in aggregate savings and investment, reduce profits and incentives for business to invest, and lead to a long-term decline in productivity and consumption.\n\nIn time, the epidemic will have a serious impact on all sectors of society. Agriculture is likely to be affected by a shift from long-term planning to short-term survival. Al employment sectors will suffer, especially those with a highly mobile workforce such as the transport industry, the armed forces, seasonal farm labour and construction work. The most vulnerable sectors of the economy are those heavily dependent on highly educated and experienced staff in short supply. These include banking and commerce, universities and schools, government and public services.\n\nAny weakening of the education system will make it more difficult for young people to receive information about AIDS before they become sexually active. A decline in the quantity and quality of education is likely to take place as teachers become ill and die. This has serious consequences for future economic development and growth.\n\nThe inter-generational consequences of HIV and AIDS are

You may want to host an "ethic festival" for the school. It could be open to all the families or to the community. If you have access to a gym or cafeteria, each culture could have a table or area where they can display artwork, native dress, flags, crafts, writings, food samplings, etc. If there is a stage area, some groups may want to showcase  dance or music demonstrations. I have seen this done at the high school level and it was very successful.

You can also do a presentation on PRIONS and mad cow disease. When I did mine on this subject most of the audience - including the professors - were freaked out coz they were so scared!!\n\nEBOLA or Hunta virus is also a good bet!
