ICROSS, with funding from the Global Fund, has a home based care programme where 170 volunteers care for terminally ill aids patients. ICROSS is in charge of the training of the community health workers (CHVs) and distribution of prophylaxis and nutritional supplements among other things. We quickly realised the stigma and discrimination our volunteers met, both external and internal. After close dialogue with a number of volunteers, a comprehensive stigma and discrimination workshop was tailored. The workshop was incorporated into a refresher course for our CHVs on home based care.

The final presentation date for projects of an EECS 481 course in the Bob and Betty Beyster Building atrium on December 11, 2013.
EECS 481 Students in EECS Professor David Chesney's course have been designing systems to make it easier for Grace Simon to communicate, play, or be more independent at school or home.
Simon was diagnosed with cerebal palsy at six months old. While Grace doesn't have the muscle control to speak, extensively sign, or walk, she has a very capable mind that can read and communicate by signaling 'yes' or 'no.'

Solar Water Disinfection "SODIS"
ICROSS with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland has carried out extensive research on
solar disinfection of drinking water. Our findings suggest that solar disinfection of water may
significantly reduce morbidity in communities with no other means of disinfecting drinking
water, because of lack of resources or in the event of a disaster.

The Backpack Community Tour (www.backpackers.co.za) starts with a visit to the Bo-Kaap, including the infamous Atlas Trading. Then we head to the District 6 Museum, before having lunch at the Eastern Food Bazaar in Darling Street.
After lunch we go to Heideveld, where the GCU Academy is based at Woodlands Primary School. Here you will have the opportunity to play soccer with the kids, help them with their homework or read to them, whilst seeing what the GCU (www.gcu.org.za) is about and how they are making big changes.

When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.
