					<description><![CDATA[Kenya (MNN) -- WWCS shapes new curriculum for millions of HIV/AIDS orphans]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
Kenya (MNN) &#8212; Around 2 million people in Kenya have<br />
HIV/AIDS; statistics estimate 1.4 million kids were orphaned by the disease. No<br />
African classroom remains untouched by the effects of HIV/AIDS. That&#39;s why<br />
<a href="../../groups/WWCS">Worldwide Christian Schools </a> partnered with the Reformed Church of East Africa<br />
(RCEA) to create a curriculum tailored to preventing the spread of AIDS in<br />
young students. &nbsp;
</p>
<p>
Titled &quot;HOPE for Today&#39;s Generation,&quot; the<br />
curriculum was developed by African teachers from a Christian perspective.
</p>
<p>
&quot;Human stewardship of life is the focus [of] the<br />
curriculum,&quot; says Rev. Geoffrey Kiptanui Songok, RCEA&#39;s Moderator.<br />
&quot;Relationships and good health are at the center of it all.&quot;
</p>
<p>
The new curriculum will be a major component of RCEA&#39;s<br />
efforts to raise HIV/AIDS awareness in Kenyan communities. These efforts also<br />
include training community volunteers, counselors and church leaders;<br />
volunteers were involved in creating the HOPE curriculum. Sensitizing<br />
the community to the taboo topic of HIV/AIDS has been a primary focus of RCEA&#39;s<br />
volunteers.
</p>
<p>
One section of the new curriculum focuses on teaching<br />
students about contracting HIV/AIDS and how to care for victims of the disease.<br />
HOPE for Today&#39;s Generation centers on helping kids make God-honoring choices<br />
that allow them to fulfill their dreams and potential.
</p>
<p>
Now that the material has been completed and field-tested,<br />
funding is needed for the next steps. In some cases, the curriculum must be<br />
translated into French. Support is also needed for promotion and distribution to<br />
African schools and teachers, starting with Kenya.
</p>
<p>
Pray for the millions of children in Africa who&#39;ve been<br />
orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Pray that they would find hope in Christ<br />
through this new curriculum.
</p>
