GlobeMed at Oberlin partners with Center for Community Health Promotion in Hanoi, Vietnam to support a writing competition for HIV+ men

Who we are // GlobeMed at Oberlin

Founded in 2011, GlobeMed at Oberlin is one of the 46 GlobeMed chapters based in the United States that work to improve the lives of the impoverished around the world. We partner with the Center for Community Health Promotion (CHP) in Hanoi, Vietnam. CHP and GlobeMed at Oberlin strive to eliminate stigma and discrimination towards populations infected and affected by HIV by advocating for projects and educational campaigns that promote awareness among the community.

Our Partner // Community Health Promotion in Hanoi, Vietnam

As a non-profit, non-governmental organization that was established by the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations in 2006, CHP is one of the leading organizations in Vietnam that provides effective and professional services in health care, health education, and capacity building. CHP works with people who face the highest vulnerability to HIV in Vietnam, including men who have sex with men, commercial sex workers, intravenous drug users, and orphans and vulnerable children. CHP promotes lasting improvement in the wellbeing of people through initiatives in health care, health education, the improvement of the environment, and policy advocacy.

Our Project // $3,200 for a Writing Competition Project

We aim to raise $3,200 by May 2012 for the Writing Competition Project facilitated by CHP, which aims to reduce social stigma and discrimination toward men who have sex with men by attracting 400 writings that encourage positive and healthy lifestyles. Ten writings will be selected to be published on the CHP website and other public media throughout Vietnam. Your donation will help to extend the range of participants and audience and will encourage positive lifestyles and will reduce stigma and discrimination.
