Seven Weeks Old And Crying

A New Challenge to find "Other Notes".



Hello to you all,
had much to not write the blog. I admit, that to tweet, facebook and report it to leave less time for this space.

recently got a good story that involves a huge challenge and responsibility. In my mail was an invitation by a friend to register for the call for "UNAIDS Key Correspondents" a website that looked young to write information to a community perspective on the issue of HIV and Human Rights.

I registered but I thought I might not accept. The surprise came with a plane ticket to enable me for a week in Buenos Aires, Argentina with colleagues from other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The experience was enriching from the professional and human. Living with colleagues who live in countries with equal or more serious problems in Mexico around the discrimination that people living with HIV.

The course was a moment to reflect further on the importance of using inclusive language and the need to tell stories on the issue of HIV and AIDS in a responsible and respectful.

From the challenge starts now reporting from Guadalajara, Jalisco and send information on issues related to prevention of HIV and AIDS but also human rights, not discirminación, drug supply, labor activists and clear key population, information not usually dealt with groups such as people with disability, people transsexual or indigenous people.

All this, and also the work of my colleagues who are in countries like Peru, Guatemala, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay and others may read it on the website of UNAIDS Key Correspondents , you can now read my web site of this international project. Giving

can click here read the first story that discusses a topic that fascinates me: People with Disabilities. This is a course held in Guadalajara for the persoans blind prevenición access information about HIV and AIDS.

Why am I interested in addressing these issues? Because I believe that people with disability are systematically discriminated against by their physical condition and that puts them at a disadvantage compared with the rest of the population to access information.

Now, I'm happy to be part of the Key Correspondent team and as I wrote in my travel book when I was in the plane back to Buenos Aires, Argentina .. The real challenge is to start.


Greetings to you all and thank you for entering this blog with "Other Notes" to read.
