US Peace Corps Volunteers Thailand Group 114 10 wk Training
In this video I try to express the feeling of what it may be like to be in Peace Corps. This video was filmed during the training and home stay before actually becoming volunteers. You get an intensive training for 3-4 months. Learning customs, culture and language. You have a home stay experience for over 6 weeks. Somtimes these people become very good friends in the future. Then you get assigned and move to a new location after training. You do your job whatever field it is in. Many of us were English Teachers and local community Trainers. Also many are involved in community work. You also become good friends with many of the volunteer you meet in your group. We had a special bond with each of the volunteers we lived near. You may see them often as they may live near you or you may never see them again after training if you are far apart. You complete your service in two years and then return home to share your experience. Its hard but interesting and amazing, things you never would get to do see and eat! Skills you pickup and trades you learn.Helping others the whole time. Plus it’s awesome to learn new cultures and languages. Full immersion makes it easy too! I have been a Peace Corps volunteer twice. It is amazing! you make no money but have an amazing experience. Its something you can’t expect and its hard but fun and feels good to help other people. The work with community groups is some of the most rewarding. Tree planting, reforestation and recycling. Aids work communtiy libraries or therater groups many diffent options are available for secondary projects. After two years you have a final workshop “close of service” meeting to help ease you back into America. Help you with job placement or provide school opportunities as well.

World AIDS Day – Fort Hays State University Hosts AIDS Quilt
FHSU commemorates World AIDS Day
11/18/2009
Working together to inform the public about AIDS, the Office of Diversity Affairs, the Gay-Straight Alliance and the Student Health Center of Fort Hays State University are planning a series of events for World AIDS Day beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1.
A World AIDS Day display, a public forum, a display featuring 12 of the 40 thousand panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, free HIV testing and an art exhibit and silent auction are all part of the commemoration to World AIDS Day at FHSU in the Memorial Union.
The World’s AIDS Day display will be presented on the main level of the union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Workers will hand out information booklets as well as awareness stickers and other paraphernalia.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt, consisting of panels weighing anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds and measuring 12 square feet, serves as a tribute to those who have suffered from HIV or AIDS. Sponsored by the NAMES Project Foundation, the quilt was founded in 1987 as a way to, provide a creative means for remembrance and healing, effectively illustrate the enormity of the AIDS epidemic, increase the general public’s awareness of HIV and AIDS, assist others with HIV infection-prevention education, and raise funds for community-based AIDS service organizations. Over 14 million people have visited the quilt at various locations worldwide, and the NAMES Foundation has raised over $3 million for AIDS service organizations in North America. From on Dec. 1 to 3, FHSU students, faculty and staff, as well as the Hays community, will have their chance to view the famous quilt which has been featured in books, films and even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. The quilt will be on display from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Fort Hays Ballroom and the Black and Gold Room of the union. Admission is free.
“The quilt is really a community art project,” said Michael Miller, Chanute junior and president of the Gay-Straight Alliance. “One panel will be specially made from the people in the Hays community who have had AIDS touch their lives.”
Any volunteers wishing to assist with the AIDS Quilt can e-mail fhsugsa@gmail.com. The volunteer work will count for Tigers in Service credit.
On Dec. 1-2, the health center will conduct free and confidential HIV testing. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS by slowly attacking the immune system. Often times, people with the HIV virus can show little to no symptoms but are still highly infectious. The tests will be offered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the health center in the lower level of the union.
“We want people to know HIV is not a gay disease,” said George Jackson III, coordinator of diversity affairs. “Anybody can be HIV positive.”
FHSU students and faculty members have been asked to donate art pieces to be sold at the silent art auction outside the ballroom. The auction will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m. on Dec. 1-2. All proceeds will go to the AIDS Research Alliance. According to their Web site, the ARA is an organization that exists to develop a cure for HIV/AIDS, medical strategies to prevent new infections and better treatments for people living with HIV/AIDS. Anyone donating art pieces must have their work turned into the Center for Student Involvement by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25. After raising $200 last year, the group has set a goal of $500 for this year’s event.
A public forum will be on Wednesday, Dec. 2 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Cody Commons in the lower level of the union. The forum will be hosted by Jackson, as well as a representative from the health department. “I would also really love to get a pastor, or someone to provide a Christian aspect as well,” said Jackson. The representatives from the different areas will be present to answer any questions students may have concerning HIV or AIDS.
The Gay-Straight Alliance has asked Nina Martinez to speak on Wednesday, Dec. 2. Martinez contracted HIV as a six-week-old infant after a faulty blood transfusion. Martinez will speak from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Black and Gold Room.
Finishing the events on Thursday, Dec. 3, will be the showing of the documentary “Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt.” The film tells about the first decade of the AIDS epidemic, and features the AIDS Quilt as its “central metaphor.” “Common Threads” relives personal memories and conducts an expose of the U.S. Government’s reaction to the epidemic and the resulting protests. The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1989. The film will be shown on at 7:30 p.m. in the Black and Gold Room.
“We really hope to raise awareness that AIDS is an epidemic everywhere,” said Miller. “It doesn’t matter what race, gender or sexual preference you are.” Miller will conduct the closing ceremony after the film to conclude the events.
For additional information about the commemoration, contact Jackson at (785) 628-4664.

Volunteer Abroad Vietnam Hanoi Street Children Center Program Opportunities
Volunteers are needed to provide orphaned and street children in Hanoi with a basic education. This will be done through educational games and activities created by the volunteer. This center works with children who are forced at a young age to earn a living by collecting rubbish, begging, polishing shoes, working in handicraft factories and other like activities. Currently the center houses seventy students are hold three classes- two in the morning and one in the afternoon. As a result, the students are not receiving a full curriculum and the staff is over worked. Volunteers are desperately needed to act as teachers assistants and organize educational games and activities for the students. This project needs international volunteers to work cooperatively to create educational programs which include both Vietnamese and English subjects. The center is the only hope that they have for a better life. (7-8 hours per day)
