EDC trains Botswana educators
on developing K-12 HIV prevention curriculum
Like many countries in Africa, Botswana has been devastated by
the AIDS epidemic: Overall more than 20 percent of the country
is infected with HIV; in more than half of the country, HIV exceeds
30 percent.
But Botswana educators are using lessons created with help from
the Newton-based Education Development Center Inc. to educate
students across the country about the deadly disease. Earlier
this fall, a group of the educators visited EDC and worked
on developing a K-12 HIV prevention curriculum geared specifically
toward their country's students.

Mort Silverman praises the Boston Globe for feature story
on suicide prevention
Kudos to The Boston Globe for the Aug. 4 story on family tendencies
to suicide (''Genetic scientists eye high-suicide families,'' Page
A1). The story called attention to a potential genetic predisposition
to suicidal behaviors and the complex emotions that survivors and
family members experience.
