Hi Denise,

I worked in Guyana, South America for 2 years developing and running an
HIV/AIDS education and awareness program with an organization called "Youth
Challenge International".  This program brings together people from Canada,
Guyana, Costa Rica and Australia (and occasionally other countries) to work
on community identified projects.  The main Canadian office is in Toronto
but there are also offices in Vancouver, Guyana, Costa Rica and Australia.
They do run other health education programs other than HIV/AIDS in Guyana
and Costa Rica and are always looking for keen, qualified people.  You can
check out their website at www.yci.org.  I would also be happy to give you
any further information if you are interested.
