Hi Leigh,
Appreciated our Skype chat - I'm looking forward to speaking with
Bronwyn H. soon, as to opportunities for collaboration with Otago's
Caring for People with HIV/AIDS materials. I think there's
considerable opportunities for leadership here....
I've alerted you to David Walker's paper from PCF -4:
http://pcf4.dec.uwi.edu/viewpaper.php?id=434 (there's a number of
initiatives here - we'll have to explore whether we can access this
material as free content)
As discussed, NZ Aid has (at least in 2006) a high priority placed on
HIV / AIDS as a focus area (Links:
http://www.nzaid.govt.nz/library/docs/factsheet-hiv-aids.pdf; and
http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:4qBV7HmUUcIJ:www.nzaid.govt.nz/library/docs/factsheet-hiv-aids.pdf+NZ+AId+HIV+Aids&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=ca
I spoke with Wayne this morning, and he told me a couple of things:
(1) COL's focal point is apparently co-located in NZ Aid, so there
could be some significant possibilities there;
(2) Joshua Mallett is working on a programme for community health for
nurses in West Africa, focusing on OERs of which I'm sure there will
be modules for say, mothers and babies: transmission etc.
Also, I've put in a feeler phone call to the Stephen Lewis Foundation,
to share notes and have a conversation... will let y'all know what
comes of it...We do have common ground, although they may not know it
just yet! :-)

On a related note, we're looking at how we can help the folks in our
community make such linkages for their projects....to move them
forward..... come to think of it, I have some ideas, so I'll jot them
down on the community building strategy page.
