Credit Through Global Service Corps
Global Service Corps, in
partnership with SUNY-Albany, is proud to announce a new 9 Credit
Summer and a new 15 Credit Fall Semester Integrated HIV/AIDS
Education and Prevention & Sustainable Agriculture and Food
Security Community Development Program. Designed for individuals
with multiple interests, these programs allow students to
participate in two GSC program areas providing a cross-sectoral
response to community development in Tanzania. The focus of these
service-learning experiences is for students to expand their own
knowledge while at the same time helping to educate local community
members in HIV/AIDS prevention and rural sustainable agriculture.
Students will have the opportunity to become fully immersed in
Tanzanian culture as they live, work, learn, and play among local
Tanzanian families, staff, and students in both rural and urban
settings. Participants will receive orientation in the language,
culture, and history of the Tanzanian people as well as academic
and hands-on technical training in the areas of HIV/AIDS and Food
Security that will prepare them to assist in a variety of community
development and training projects.

Global Service Corps' 9 week summer program gives students the
opportunity to learn while serving some of Tanzania's most

indigenous cultures. Students will spend their initial four weeks
focusing on the GSC HIV/AIDS Prevention Program, engaging in
projects such as the HIV/AIDS Peer Education and Life Skills Day
Camp as well as assisting in additional community trainings and
awareness activities. During week five, students will begin their
training and participation in sustainable agriculture as part of
the GSC Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Program. Projects
include community workshops, trainings, and hands-on field work in
innovative food security techniques such as bio-intensive agriculture,
water catchment, and food storage and preservation. Weeks six

interconnectedness of sustainable food production, income generation,
and overall health and wellness.

Semester Service-Learning Program in Tanzania
HIV/AIDS Prevention
Education, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security
September 5 - December 15, 2011
The Global Service Corps 15 Credit Fall Semester Program offers
similar service experiences to the Summer 9 Credit Program while
also providing a more in-depth academic component. During the
initial three weeks of the program, students will receive
orientation and classroom training, providing a foundation in
African Culture, Public Health, and Community Development. After
this academic preparation, students will complete nine weeks of
field work in the areas of HIV/AIDS Education and Prevention, and
Sustainable Agriculture, serving as training assistants in
community workshops. Community groups GSC works with include
widows, orphans, Maasai and other indigenous cultures. As part of
GSC's HIV/AIDS Education and Prevention Program, awareness
activities and trainings target youth and adults with the ultimate
goal of mitigating the spread of HIV/AIDS in a sustainable manner.
Students will also receive training in GSC's Sustainable
Agriculture and Food Security Program, including hands-on
experience in innovative agriculture techniques that aim to
increase food production while alleviating the main causes of food
losses. The final three weeks of the program will focus on the
Service Learning Capstone Course in which students will attend
additional class lectures and prepare their final papers and
presentations.
