HIV/AIDS Awareness for Rural Adolescents (HARA)

Empowering young women to become teacher for their society.

Conocimiento sobre el HIV/SIDA para adolescentes de áreas rurales

El Conocimiento sobre HIV/SIDA para Adolescentes en Áreas rurales comenzó en Diciembre de 2008 con el objetivo de difundir el conocimiento sobre HIV/SIDA en áreas donde la población tiene miedo o timidez de hablar de la enfermedad. Este programa ha dado fuerzas a mujeres jóvenes para convertirse en maestras de su sociedad.

En la primera fase del proyecto se enseña a jóvenes mujeres sobre la enfermedad y las entrena para impartir esta información de manera sencilla

Uno de estos talleres fue conducido por 12 líderes jóvenes de cinco estados de India en el Centro Internacional de El Arte de Vivir en Bangalore, el 20 y 21 de Diciembre de 2008. En menos de 30 días, 3 líderes mujeres jóvenes (todas alrededor de 20 años) llegaron a 945 mujeres de áreas rurales en el distrito de Cuddappah en Andhra Pradesh.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

“I feel peace with myself and have less stress. I think if I continue with the practice, this feeling of peace will continue to grow.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
