Parkville Rotary hosts HIV/AIDS program launch
The Parkville Rotary Club, in conjunction with Park University, will host the world launch of a new model of intervention to conquer sexual violence and HIV/AIDS Dec. 10.
Yoshiaki Yamasaki, executive director of the World Health Care Infrastructures (doing business as the Philadelphia AIDS Consortium), and his team of world-renowned expert pioneers in this field, will present a program on a “New Model of Intervention for Sexual Violence and HIV/AIDS” in the Park Distance Learning Conference Center starting at noon. A reception for dignitaries from Philadelphia and Jesus Maria, Jalisco, Mexico, will begin at 11:30 a.m. The event is sold out: however, the program portion of this historical event (from noon to 1 p.m.) will be available via a Web cast at park.edu/jesusmaria.
The goal of this Rotary program is to provide the Jesus Maria Project a platform to bring awareness through the education of Rotarians, various stakeholders and interested groups of this important topic.
This program was born from friendships and partnerships formed between Rotarians of Parkville, Rotarians of Arandas, Rotarians of Tepatitlan, the citizens of Jesus Maria, citizens from Parkville and the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area, the Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, national and international non-governmental organizations, including the Women Organized Against Rape, the Municipality of Jesus Maria, the Department of Coesida in the State of Jalisco, Mexico with the common goal to address this critical world health issue of sexual violence and HIV/AIDS.
