This Saturday evening Caroline Thuo Reggy, of the Church World Service's (CWS) organization, will kick off IUPUI's Partnership Africa Spring event schedule. Caroline will be giving a presentation and discussion on CWS's youth empowerment program in Africa - the Giving Hope Program. The Giving Hope Program utilizes Asset-Based Community Development methodology to organize youth-headed households affected by HIV and AIDS. Since its creation in 2004 the program has engaged more than 12,000 households in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
Caroline's presentation, Kenya's Youth in the Peace and Reconciliation Process, is Saturday, January 16th, from 4:00 to 6:00PM in the Global Crossroads area, room ES2132, of IUPUI's Education and Social Work Building (902 W. New York St.).
This presentation is part of the Partnership Africa program of IUPUI's Office of International Affairs. This program is a year-long series of lectures, films, exhibits, and video conferences focused on IUPUI's strong connection to Africa.
