My story
Thank you for taking the time to read my Justgiving page.
Firstly you may notice that the URL address for this page has the word Tajikistan in. Last year I was placed on the VSO ICS programme for Tajikistan, however due to unforeseen circumstances I delayed my placement until this summer. On the 1st of July I'll actually be heading in a completely different direction, to Zambia.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the home of 27 million persons living with HIV and in Zambia; the prevalence of HIV infection is as high as 25%. The HIV epidemic is so widespread in this country that individuals aged 15 have more than a 50% risk of dying of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) before the age of 35.
VSO’s vision is a poverty and HIV/AIDS free Zambia, in which all disadvantaged women, youth (female and male) and vulnerable children are able to exploit their full potential in a conductive and secure environment. The donations you kindly donate will contribute to VSO projects all around the world. Helping VSO achieve their global vision of a world without poverty where excluded and marginalised women and men have a choice and an opportunity to participate effectively in society. Where they have enough to feed and clothe their families, have access to education and healthcare services, land on which to grow food or a job to earn a living.
I will be placed on a health programme, focusing on HIV/AIDS and community health. (More details to follow).
Anything you can spare will make a huge difference to those in need.
Thanks again :)
Joe

To all those who have donated and may be thinking, 'Shouldn't Joe be in Tajikistan?'. My placement has been postponed until summer 2013. Donations still greatly appreciated and will be carried over to my next project. Details soon...
Programme on BBC Four tonight on Tajikistan. 22:30 - 23:15. Showing how the country has moved from communism to capitalism and from atheism to a rediscovery of Islam. Should be interesting.
A page on something very similar to what I'll be doing. http://www.vsojitolee.org/story/35470/ethical-tourism-in-tajikistan%3A-a-path-out-of-poverty :)
