news flash! 22/10/09!
This info is from the bbc news website.
Ethiopian goverment declared they need international help for emergency food aid for 6.2 million people. If they don't get that help then millions of
innocent civilians could die.
The Hawassa Project is a project run by Mr. Morris, Ms Johnson and an enthusiastic group of pupils from Willingdon Community School. It aims to develop links between the two communities. The link will help Uk children to learn from the experiences of the young people of Hawassa, to develop their ethical enterprise skills and to take part in a sustainable development project.
A town called Addis
Our friends in Hawassa are a group of 64 orphans who have organised themselves into a support group who want to help their local community. They have set up a refuse collection project and are successfully educating the local community on a range of
health issues related to HIV Aids and cholera.
Hawassa is in Ethiopia. A country in the Horn of Africa and is a country that has suffered majorly.
The Hawassa project is hopefully going to change both these orphans lives and those of people in our own community. We have put together a club to help these orphans continue their work . All they need is the loving support of their group and the knowledge that other people care about them. We are doing this club to raise awareness of their work and how their good example can become part of our own lives. We have decided to help this goup because the film that we have put on this page touched our hearts.

The main sources of HIV
Do not reuse or share dirty needles: Clean needles with a bleach solution before reusing them or use fresh needles each time.
Get tested if you are pregnant or considering pregnancy: HIV+ mothers can pass the virus to their babies while pregnant, during birth, or by breastfeeding. Advances in treatments have significantly reduced the risk of a baby getting HIV from its mother when precautions are taken.
- Common myth: "HIV can be spread through casual contact."
- Truth: HIV cannot be spread through tears, sweat, and saliva. Casual contact is not risky because it does not include contact with infectious body fluids. Examples of casual contact include: social kissing, use of public facilities (pools, theaters, bathrooms), sharing drinks or eating utensils, etc. Insect bites do not transmit HIV.
