Working in international development sector - fundraising. Researching intersectionality between health and education for HIV prevention. Views are my own.

@susancolehaley @susancolehaley this is sad & devastating news indeed. As a fundraiser, I’d be keen to learn the “why’s” & “how’s” incase we (reluctantly) create another AIDSMAP (though I’d prefer resurrecting them as they’ve done a LOT!!!)! Do reach out if needed !

@tristanjbarber @drlaurajwaters @DrYGilleece @ShareEastLondon @ipso_reevo @drkylesr @angelina_namiba @susancolehaley @DrNickyMackie @vanessa_apea @BritishHIVAssoc Rightly pointed here in terms of hierarchy of countries/region. Decolonisation of development requires a shift in thinking and habits. We talk about equitable partnerships between global South & global North, so let’s walk the talk together too.

[Wezi Mvalo @wezi_m]

@stevesharra This speaks to a lot of areas including: competency based curriculum, teacher preparation, 21st Century Skills, transformative pedagogies, to name a few. But we also ought to push for STEM subjects as these are key too. The debate here is balancing all this.

@Theholisticpsyc I remember the first time I opened up to someone safe & caring and they said,
'Thank you for sharing that with me. I know that was hard. Thank you for choosing me as a safe person. I feel closer to you.'
It was exactly what I needed to feel safe, seen & heard.💖

Children with at least one sensory, physical or intellectual difficulty are 7% less likely to complete elementary school than the average child.

Efforts to ensure inclusive education for all must double.

@tristanjbarber @ErasmusMC @EATGx @EACSociety @BritishHIVAssoc @iasociety @kallmemeg @UKHSA @UCL_CRISH @Rokx1 @UCLGlobalHealth @hivta_uk This would be an interesting study, which I wosh had come along when I was doing my PhD - I would’ve jumped at it for sure. Will share it with our alumni. And I’ll hope fora postdoctoral opportunity around this in future. Thanks @tristanjbarber for sharing.

This is on a bus stop near my hospital. The rest of the world can see what’s happening to our NHS. Why can’t our own #Conservative #government #NHSCrisis ?

It’s #HIVTestingWeek!

Please retweet so that everyone knows #HIV testing is free, easy and confidential.

Knowing I have HIV meant I could take control of my life, get on treatment and remain healthy.

I lent someone MK80,000 last year. Today he asked me for another loan. Just above was his last text to me on 24th July, 2023 that read "thanks bro. I will sort you out next Friday." I had forgotten and now i reminded him. He said "oh shit. Thought I sorted you." Then quiet!
