HIV/AIDS Coordinator

The sad news is that our local shop had milk yesterday - and we missed out on this exciting opportunity. The awesome news is that I got a new job! I'm still working for The Salvation Army's national office (THQ) in Zimbabwe, but I have a new position. You're looking at (well, I guess I should write you're reading...) the new HIV/AIDS Coordinator. I am THRILLED about the change. Since moving here I have struggled with my job. People are my passion; particularly vulnerable or excluded people, and so that is why I did my masters in social work. People are facing so many social challenges in Zimbabwe, and I have desired to be out in the community and meeting people rather than behind a desk processing paperwork. I will continue on with the Zimbabwe School of Youth Leadership, and then hopefully get myself involved in a variety of other outreach/social work/justice/training/linking with other agencies, etc. initiatives. I like a new challenge! You'll be hearing more about this...
