This week's speaker, fellow Rotarian Anne Harman, will talk about Tucson Sunrise’s global grant project to provide Game for the World, an HIV/AIDS educational board game to schools in rural Kenya. The game has been used extensively in Southern Africa, Tanzania and Kenya.
Kenya has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world. Currently, HIV/AIDS is a major health and development issue and evidence shows that youth bear the largest burden of new HIV infections. Anne will discuss the Game’s background and success, and a global grant proposal to supply 1500 copies of the game to 300 Kenyan school teachers. Come learn how an educational game designed in Tucson truly became a Game for the World!
