The annual Retiree Reception was held at 4:00 pm April 25 at the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts on Patterson Street. VLREA invited all teachers at the public schools in Valdosta, Lowndes and Echols counties and educators at VSU, GMC and Wiregrass. The reception is held to honor each of the local public educators who are retiring at the end of the school year or those who have retired during the present school year. The reception for retirees has been held since the early 1990s.

Nutrition educator Ana Rezendiz teaches parents to identify and prepare healthier food while their children with Type 2 diabetes learn how to calculate the sugar and calorie content of foods in an adjacent room. The innovative Pediatric Weight Maintenance ongoing program was designed for participants who have completed two-months of weekly, two-hour sessions through PowerPlayMD-OC program. This particular class was held in Spanish and the clinic works extensively with the Latino community, which has particularly high rates of obesity and diabetes.
In the past Type 2 diabetes was seen primarily in adults over age 40 and labelled adult-onset diabetes, but in recent years an increasing amount of children have been diagnosed with it. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, which is caused by genetics and requires insulin injections, Type 2 is primarily controlled by diet and physical activity. Learning to manage diabetes on a daily basis is critical to avoiding severe side effects such as organ failure, blindness, limb amputation and early death. One in every 4 children in Orange County is overweight, a near doubling over the last twenty years. Obesity affects at least 150,000 children in the county and is characterized as an epidemic across the U.S. by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only 1% of children are meeting all of the dietary guidelines and the current youth is the most inactive generation in history. Childhood obesity contributes to asthma, menstrual irregularities, depression and low self-esteem.

Apapamo Malola, peer educator
The Global Fund / John Rae
Educating Youth on HIV in Nigeria
Apapamo had her heart set on working in a bank until she discovered her true vocation of counseling young people about HIV. That service is not widely available in her home state and she dreams of being the one to make it happen.
Apapamo is one among many youths now equipped with the tools to fight the spread of HIV. She’s been trained in HIV awareness thanks to a Global Fund-financed program that’s reached nearly 30,000 youngsters throughout the country.
All university graduates in Nigeria are mobilized for community service in states far from their home. The program – known as the National Youth Service Corps - helps cross-cultural understanding. The year-long placement tends to be in the police, army, security service or in education.
All participants attend an orientation camp of around a week. A day-long training – financed through the Global Fund – is given about reproductive health and HIV prevention. Those who wish can volunteer to undergo extra training in order to share that awareness by becoming peer educators.
In Nigeria it is still taboo for parents to discuss sex with their children. That’s why it’s important for youth to be able to counsel each other on the facts of life.
Apapamo found a sense of purpose at the National Youth Service Corps camp.
“Before the training I thought I was going to camp to enjoy myself. I didn’t want to be involved in any activity, just to be away from home, a time to learn about other peoples’ cultures, just enjoy myself. Then I got to camp and I saw this and I said ‘yes I want to do this’ and I volunteered to be part of that project.”
Apapamo trained as a Peer Educator Trainer. She now gives advice to young girls at the school she’s stationed in and, in addition, she trains them to take the message further into the community as peer educators.
Listen to Apapamo describe what she says when she counsels girls and her dream of bringing peer education to those who don’t have it back home:
"When the children misbehave, you must discipline them. A smack with the ruler across the knuckles usually suffices. If not then apply a smack on both hands."
"Yeah, right. I wish."

In June 2018, the Education Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory hosted 50 pre-service teachers for a weeklong professional development workshop, during which they got hands-on experience with STEM lessons, heard from JPL scientists and engineers, and toured the Pasadena, California, facility. The experience was part of NASA's Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Educator Institute, which takes place at NASA centers across the country each summer. The first of the two sessions at JPL this summer focused on elementary-school STEM education.

The education of individuals with intellectual disabilities has a long history. There have been significant contributions through the years by doctors, teachers, psychologists, parents and advocates for individuals with disabilities. The recognition that "idiots and imbeciles" could benefit from education has evolved over the years to the current practice of inclusion of individuals with disabilities into "regular" classrooms alongside their contemporaries. The goals of education have also evolved from the mere tolerance for interaction with others to assuming a place in an accepting society. Here are a few individuals who have sought to educate individuals with disabilities as well as the society they live in.
