"I'm sure when I ponder my life experiences, during the twilight of my years, I will regard my six weeks in Thailand as six of the most sensational weeks of my life... I traveled to Thailand hoping for an enriching experience. What I found exceeded my wildest expectations."
Chris Cox, International Health Program, Thailand
VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IN CAMBODIA IN ASIA: TEACHING HIV/AIDS EDUCATION AND PREVENTION
GSC’s “English for Life” (EFL) volunteer program in Cambodia brings HIV/AIDS prevention training to community development members served by local NGO's, as well as secondary school students and their teachers. In recent years, Cambodia has made great strides in turning the tide of the HIV epidemic; however, young people and particularly orphans remain vulnerable and often do not receive sufficient attention from HIV/AIDS prevention organizations. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, teachers are often shy to bring up issues related to HIV/AIDS in the classroom. This is one of the reasons why GSC HIV/AIDS prevention volunteers are needed in Cambodia to help close this knowledge gap, increase teachers’ comfort levels in teaching HIV/AIDS prevention, and keep future generations safe from the disease.
In addition to GSC’s EFL Program teaching HIV/AIDS prevention education, GSC teams up with selected local non-profit organizations in Cambodia and uses creative methods, such as music and dance, to empower the children of Cambodia to lead healthier lives free of HIV and drugs. The goal is to integrate HIV education and drug prevention in a fun, child-friendly approach.
Prior to departure, HIV/AIDS program international volunteers receive the GSC Cambodia HIV/AIDS Prevention Manual. The manual is full of tips for the classroom, including sample lesson plans and time tested games and activities. During the orientation week in Phnom Penh, Cambodia volunteers also receive cultural and technical training to prepare them to be effective trainers. Topics covered during the training include: Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS; HIV prevention, counseling and testing; cultural issues; what to expect in the classroom; classroom management; lesson planning; and effective use of games and activities. GSC will prepare you with role-play materials, conversation practice outlines, and games and activities for use in the classroom. Previous teaching experience is not required - just a positive attitude and a willingness to approach challenges with patience and enthusiasm!
