Power Point Presentation Outline

Use this outline to take notes on what you will say during your Power Point and presentation. Remember this is not word for word but bullet points. You can use notecards during your presentation, but you should never read from your Power Point!!!

Part One: Background (opening based on persuasive paragraph and reflection question about your issues in general)

Slide __: Why is this issue a global one? What is the main problem? Infectious diseases are a global issue because it is able to affect people worldwide. Their potentiality of transmission from one species or animal to another make them different from other diseases. The main problem is that infectious diseases will make a global health threat over the next 20 years, from the year 2000. Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death as they account for more than a quarter of estimated 54 million deaths worldwide in 1998.

Slide__ : How is this issue affecting the world?

Covered in previous slide

Slide ___: What is being done to stop, prevent or fix this issue? To stop, prevent or fix this issue, many big organizations are providing people with information about AIDS, what is AIDS, how it spreads, how serious it is, how we can help, etc., through their websites or through advertisements, etc. By doing that, people could have a clearer idea of how badly spread this disease is in sub-Saharan Africa and became more aware of this sickness. One organization, CIDA, has been educating people in sub-Saharan Africa so they could avoid some things that may lead them to have AIDS.

Part Two: Case Study (the specific area you choose to focus on)

Slide___ Images that help depict (show) your topic. (Write down the image description and what slide it is on- these should be throughout this section): - graphs describing the statistics

Slide ___: Background on your specific area; this should include specific statistics and quotes on your topic.__
 * More than two thirds (68%) of all people HIV-positive live in sub-Saharan Africa where more than three quarters (76%) of all AIDS deaths in 2007 occurred
 * Approximately 8,000 men, women, and children die each day of HIV/AIDS and opportunistic infections in Africa
 * An estimation of 1.7 million [1.4 million–2.4 million] people were newly infected with HIV in 2007, bringing to 22.5 million [20.9 million–24.3 million] the total number of people living with the virus in Africa

Slide _: Why did you choose this topic? Sub-Saharan Africa is the first place where AIDS occurred. In addition, it is the region that is most affected by AIDS in the whole world. Even though sub-Saharan Africa might seem like a far away region, the important thing is that there are people in that region that needs help the most. We thought that we should give help and support to other organizations in sub-Saharan Africa.

Slide ___: Links to You Tubes and/or videos related to your topic. List them here.

Slide__ _: What organization is working on this issue that you chose to focus on? AVERT and CIDA (Canadian Interanational Development Agnecy) http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/CIDAWEB/acdicida.nsf/En/NIC-55134013-NQU#1 CIDA http://www.avert.org/about.htm AVERT

Slide ___: What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change the issue?

AVERT organization's main goal is to avert HIV/AIDS worldwide. AVERT has few projects and most of their projects focuses on the prevention of infection of infectious diseases in places like Saharan Africa and India. They also educate people worldwide about HIV/AIDS and some of the ways to protect themselves from getting infected by HIV/AIDS. CIDA organization's main goal is basically to educate people in public. They do have a lot of information based on infectious diseases worldwide and this is for the education of people worldwide about the diseases.

Slide__ _: What are some of the things you like about their program? AVERT's goal is to AVERT HIV/AIDS worldwide and they have a lot of projects related to this issue. I like how they put all the information related to HIV/AIDS in different countries but especially in places such as Sub Saharan Africa, where AIDS has already infected thousands and millions of people. They not only had put information about HIV/AIDS. They also had posted some advices and helping tips. In addition, they also have links to some other charity sites if people want to help people with HIV/AIDS directly. They suggests two ways of helping them. One is to give money to the people their and the other is to spread the words to more and more people.

CIDA Does things quite similar to AVERT. Their goal is also to help people to suffer less from HIV/AIDS or even protect people from getting infected by HIV/AIDS. I also like this program because it has lots of information about HIV/AIDS and it's seriousness in lots of place (from A~Z countries). CIDA, however, is quite more detailed than AVERT. It has a lot more detailed information for each countries. AVERT talks more about how to prevent AIDS and CIDA talks more about the current situation such as the food production, and general inequality.

Part Three: Interactive Activity Interactive Activity- This should be related to your case study and involve audience members in order to educate them more on your topic. Describe your activity here and write down any questions you will ask the group. You should have the questions or directions on your power point.

Slide _ __– Overall Idea

Let the audience learn more about AIDS and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa through answering questions.

Slide__ __- Directions Tell them to listen carefully to the presentation and that we are going to ask questions in the beginning.

Slide__ _- Directions Ask questions about AIDS and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa by showing them on the power point and reading them. Give sweets to people who answer the questions correctly.

Before you proceed to Part Four, you must get your teacher to sign that your interactive activity plan is sufficient. Teacher signature: __Okay per Dr. Brown 2/10___

Part Four: Action Plan: How do you plan to become involved with your organization or model your action plan after it? What do you propose to do? This should be either raising awareness or doing something (signing a petition, donations, organizing a performance...).

Slide ___: What is your organization (name of your group)? AHSA(Association for Helping people in Sub-Saharan africa with Aids)

What is the aim or purpose- Why are you doing this action?

People in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than one dollar a day. Africa is the least likely region to be able to meet the "Millennium Development Goals" to send children to school, ensure access to clean water for families, and reduce poverty. The situation of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is terrible, as it remains as the most affected region. Globally, more than two thirds of people who got HIV live in this region while three quarters of all HIV deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa in 2007. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most desperate region of the damage caused by AIDS and they need help.

Slide__ __: The message- Why should people be informed about this issue? In Sub-Saharan Africa, about 22 million people are infected by AIDS/HIV. This number is equal to two thirds of the people who are infected by HIV/AIDS worldwide. In order to prevent AIDS from infecting more and more people worldwide, people must get educated about how to avoid HIV/AIDS from threatening people's lives. If people don't have any information about AIDS, they will get even more vulnerable to AIDS because they won't know what to do to prevent AIDS from threatening their lives.

Slide__ _: What is a short-term plan for achieving your goal (keep it simple and don’t be too ambitious- again make sure you CAN actually do this)? - Raise awareness and educate people about AIDS in sub-Sahara Africa in our school community by making posters - Raise money for donation by carrying a small box to ask for donations and placing a box at school

Slide ___: What is a long-term plan for achieving your goal? -Enlighten people about the seriousness of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa and how it can affect us. -Donate money collected previously to a bigger organization so they can use money effectively to help people in sub-Saharan Africa who are infected with AIDS

Slide__ _: What information does your Wiki contain to let people know about this? Our Wiki contains information about everything we are doing as an organization, including our message, purpose, and plans. People can get information of how they can actually participate and help people in sub-Saharan Africa through links to different organizations. There are also basic information about our issue.

Slide ___: Make a list of organizations/petitions that people can join to get involved in this issue. Foundation For Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa (FHSSA) The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) The School of Public Health at the University of Limpopo, Medunsa Campus: AIDS, Society and Development South Africa, education program Journalists Against AIDS Nigeria (JAAIDS) AVERT: AVERTing HIV and AIDS Aid for Africa

Slide__ _: Reflect on how your action plan is going? What have you done already, how have you modified it and/or what is your time line?

Our plan is going smooth without any critical obstacles. We are now finished with the plan for collecting money from people. We are going to walk around our compound, visit others and ask them if they want to donate to us. We can do this smoothly, without conflict with people, by telling them all the things we are trying to do, which is giving help to people with AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. We will raise money until February 15th, and donate it to a bigger organization that can deliver our money to the people in sub-Saharan Africa on February 24th.

Part Four: Conclusion Slide ___: Why is this important? Why should you care about this and work towards solving this topic? making AIDS well known and spreading some of the ways of preventing AIDS or donating money and supports to other organizations who are trying to help people with AIDS are important. Why? It's because AIDS have been and still is AIDS have been and still is threatening a large number of people worldwide. few millions of people have already been infected by AIDS and they are facing death becaus of it.

We should care about people with AIDS and we should pay attention to the AIDS itself. It needs a lot of attention and people's cooperation because that is the only way to prevent AIDS from resulting with a lot more dead people from AIDS. We should care about AIDS and we should strive for finding an effective way to figure out a way to cure people with AIDS and prevent further possibilities of more people catching AIDS

Slide__ __: Why should other people do something?

As I said above, people's cooperation is the essential thing in trying to help prevent AIDS and help people with AIDS. If they do anything helpful, such as donating money, supporting helpful materials (like more information on AIDS or researches done), and actually taking some actions (like actually helping the people in Sub-Saharan Africa directly), we will be able to attract more attention from more people and we will be able to give a lot of help to the people with AIDS.

Slide__ _: Make sure to leave them thinking and inspired to do something themselves! Pictures of people who are infected and people from organizations who are helping those people
