KCteam

Health & Development Networks (HDN) Key Correspondents (KCs) are citizen journalists writing about health and development issues, particularly about HIV/AIDS and TB. KCs come from around the globe. HDN in Chiang Mai, Thailand, facilitates the team with the aim of developing and supporting their reporting skills, while KCs write about issues at the grassroots level. Learn more...

We at HDN would like to take the time to thank you all for your fantastic contributions and interest in attending the International AIDS Conference 2008 in Mexico City. We received many exceptional articles and interest letters that made it quite difficult to choose the winning candidates.

That being said, a decision had to be made. We based these choices primarily on the quality of the article received from each individual as well as a demonstrated knowledge of the subject matter from both the article and interest letter.

Those who HDN is proposing to support in going to the conference are as follows:

• Kem Ley, Cambodia
• Chitra Ahanthem, Manipur
• Alege Stephen Galla, Uganda
• Gloria Ganyani, Zimbabwe
• Michael Gwaba, Zambia

We thank everyone for their submissions and wish everyone the best of luck in attending the conference. There will be many more opportunities throughout the upcoming months to attend other events and we will keep you all informed of these when we get the information

We will be following up with the KCs chosen this week to discuss further details on visa and travel arrangements.

Once again, all the best and hope to see everyone in Mexico!
