This program creates integrated learning and service opportunities
in communities battling HIV and AIDS. The program offers an understanding of
HIV and AIDS by introducing socio-economic factors, gender, cultural, war,
migration and political factors to the complex study of HIV and AIDS in Zambia
and sub-Saharan Africa. Students will be immersed in a 4-credit Community
Service project in conjunction with service partners who aim to provide
communities with adequate shelter, healthcare, formal and informal education,
and rehabilitation. Fieldtrips, pre-travel service learning, and an exciting
glimpse of Zambian culture will afford participants an experiential definition
of ubuntu, or community building. Offered in collaboration with the Catholic
University of Zambia.
