==Title==
Ghana Longboat HIV Educational Expedition (GLEE)

==Purpose and Approach==
The Tolon-Kumbungu District Health Directorate will work with PCVs to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and education in very remote communities that border the White Volta River, which are not easily accessible. Due to the isolation of the villages, these communities typically do not have access to medical care and education, plus they lack sufficient schools and clinics whose staff generally advocate the well-being of community members. Furthermore, since the regular mode of transportation are motorbikes and bicycles, GHS nurses are often unable to reach these communities, especially during the rainy season, from April to October, due to flooded roads.

The project is targeting 10 communities in approximately fourteen days. The team will consist of 5 PCVs, 5 counterparts, 4 Ghana Health Services (GHS) VCT-certified nurses and a local volunteer from each of the targeted communities.
Counterparts and GHS nurses will play leading roles in organizing the events and visits to the communities prior to the actual project implementation, while PCVs will serve as supporting staff.
The target audiences will range from JHS students to adults, both males and females. Group discussions facilitated by a PCV and his/her counterpart will be the primary format of education. Participants will be taught how to use various educational tools and activities to disseminate information in their community. In addition to using aforementioned tools and activities, organizer will utilize local language films to educate participants on family planning and safe sex practices. What is more, nurses will be available throughout the day to perform VCT, along with pre- and post-test counseling sessions for those tested.

==Objective==
1. Sensitize and create HIV and AIDS awareness and prevention among targeted communities
*Provide information on basic facts about HIV and AIDS
*Distribute condoms and educational resources

2. Assist GHS with Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) for interested persons within the target communities
*Provide an open environment for VCT
*Educate community members about testing and treatment options

==Action Plan==
1. Choose beneficiary communities. Coordinated by District Health Director and GHS nurses.
2. Purchase and gather supplies for participants.
3. Gather HIV/AIDS education materials.
4. Pre-trip: HIV coordinating session by PCVs, nurses and counterparts.
5. Pre-trip: Boat saftey session.
6. Boat launch.
