The Children’s AIDS Health Program is getting ready for India Mission: 2007. The mission seeks to provide education and awareness to the Tamil Nadu region in India to help stem the transmission of the AIDS virus.

LOGISTICAL COORDINATOR (3)
MEDIA COORDINATOR (2)

These positions are needed, and shift work is necessary as we are going to be coordinating the efforts of our mission delegates on a 24/7 basis. You must have reliable access to a phone, a dedicated high speed Internet connection, and access to a computer, all of which you need before applying for these positions.

We are seeking a responsible person or persons who have experience with event planning and management, as well as public relations. The positions noted will have much responsibility and we ask for your commitment to our cause. We will provide you with support and training in your duties, however, if you also want to increase your visibility within your community, these positions will do just that for you!

Ideally, we are seeking University or College students with backgrounds in Business Management, Marketing, Public Relations or Radio & Television/Media. This doesn’t mean that in fact others are excluded, as training and support are always provided in this position.

It is not the hours you put into the work, but the work you contribute to the cause and to the improvement of lives everywhere. I personally hope to hear from you today!

Youth always welcome!
