I. The Problem/Project Rationale

We're combating a new, terrifying pandemic that's wreaking havoc on people's lives in
unimaginable ways. It's easy for people to forget about co-occurring epidemics of opioids, sexually
transmitted infections (STIs), viral hepatitis, and incarceration as they try to make sense of the
COVID-19 problem and care for their loved ones. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on already
overburdened health systems, decreasing their ability to appropriately handle HIV/AIDS
prevention and care, as well as STI endemics. Thus, I made this Project proposal to help the people
in my community especially youngsters to be aware what is all about HIV/Aids.

In the past few years, youth have started to pierce their own body parts and tattoo
themselves. We have no professionals in our community to provide these services. Youth need
good information appropriate to our culture and geography about the risks involved with these
activities and how to do them safely. Youth also need to better understand the consequences of
risky behavior.

Youngsters can be either affected, infected, or both. Even if they are not infected, students
may feel bereft since they must provide long-term care to relatives and loved ones who are
terminally sick patients, often prematurely. They also have to deal with a mountain of medical bills,
which adds to their workload. Even worse, youths who are HIV-positive or who have full-blown
AIDS are stigmatized and discriminated against in school and elsewhere. At the same time, the
status of ill-health on their part as students or on the part of other persons is worsened by lack of
such essentials as moral support, food, and money. Moreover, students must attend to the rising
tide of orphans, regardless of their own health status. It is unfortunate that even infected or ill
youngsters must address the plight of orphans by providing for them, even in a small way,
particularly in highly indebted poor countries with limited resources.

That’s why this project proposal might help youngsters to prevent any virus specifically
HIV/AIDs and to disseminate information to people in our community that will help them make
healthy decisions for themselves and their families and we will be working with the local school
and health center on this project.

II. The Goals and Objectives

Goals:
 Youngsters make good decisions about their health.
 To reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS among people in my community especially to the
youngsters and to improve the quality of education in the school and community.

The objectives and activities of this project are:

Objective 1: Help prevent the spread of new infections of HIV/AIDS

Activities:
 Hold a community workshop about the health risks of self-piercing and self-tattooing.
 Develop public service announcements to help prevent HIV/AIDS.

Objective 2: Understand what life is like for people infected with HIV/AIDS
Activities:
 Develop and distribute a learning resource.
 Write and perform a community play.

The expected results of this project are:

 More youth will know more about how to help prevent the spread of new infections of
HIV/AIDs
 Youth will better understand what life is like for people infected with HIV/AIDS

The tools that will be used to measure the results of the project include workshop attendance and
evaluations, feedback from youth, teachers, contractor and partners, and project records and
financial reports.

The project will produce:

 A resource about HIV/AIDs.
 A workshop for youth about safe practices for self‐tattooing and body piercing.
 A community play about HIV/AIDS written and performed by youth.
 PSA (Public Service Announcements) announcements written by youth about HIV/AIDS

The project results will be disseminated through a written evaluation. It will be given to all
stakeholders in the project.

III. Project Description

The overall goal of this project will help youth make good decisions about their health.
Youth in our community are at risk of contracting HIV/AIDs through risky self-tattooing and body
piercing. Youth do not have an understanding of how HIV/AIDs can affect their lives. This project
is needed in our community.

Our activities for this project are:

 Hold a community workshop about the health risks of self‐piercing and self-tattooing and to
teach safe practices. We will bring in a health worker to deliver this workshop along with a
person who specializes in tattooing and body piercing. The workshop will be one and a half
days long and will be open to 25 participants from our community and the region. We will
bring in 3 youth from each community and we will have 10 youth from the host community.
Travel and accommodation will be provided through this project to youth.
 Develop public service announcements to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The PSAs
will be written by youth in the community and region who participated in the workshop. The
public service announcements will on the local radio station. They will air three times a week
for 10 weeks.
 Create a community play about HIV/AIDS and the risks of self-tattooing and body piercing.
We hope to work with the local community theatre group to develop and deliver this play.
Youth will be involved in writing the play, acting in the play and stage managing. This is a
great way to engage youth developing something positive for the community.
 Develop a learning resource for youth and teachers, to explore stories and people infected with
HIV/AIDS. The resource will be given to participants in the workshop and to teachers in the
region. The resource will have information, stories and handouts for students. It will provide
teachers with a resource that can be used immediately in the classroom.

The school will host the workshop and help recruit participants, the health center will provide
support and workshop assistance. Both these partners see how this project benefits their
organization and the community.

The evaluation of the project will provide information on the number of youths that attended the
workshop, the number of times the PSAs play on the local radio station and the number of youths
who helped to write the PSAs. The evaluation will also include the workshop evaluations and the
resource evaluations from both youth and teachers. We will provide information on the number of
youths that participate in the community play and how much time they spend developing and
producing the play. We hope that the plays will be well‐attended and will report on the number of
people who attend.

At the end of this project more youth will know more about how to help prevent the spread of new
infections of HIV/AIDs. And they will better understand what life is like for people infected with
HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. This project will promote healthier living for youth in our community.
We hope that the workshop, resource, PSA announcements and the community play will promote
safe practices around tattoos and body piercing. We also hope that it will provide youth with much
needed information about HIV/AIDS.
