---You are examining the Learning Resource Center Proposal
for children with AIDS

Objectives for First Year:

• Provide a location where parents can find literature, get advice, and find answers to their questions.

• Collect and disseminate information, including risk factors, vectors of transmission, etc. with the intention to develop in the community a proper response to children with AIDS.

• Create a database regarding the proliferation of AIDS in the community, treatment administered, and results. This information would be formatted for wide dissemination.

• Collect information about the work of other groups locally, domestically, and internationally.

Methods:

1. Select and hire staff: 1 researcher/counselor and 1 public educator.

2. Obtain a facility and create conditions conducive to counseling and research.

3. Two months before opening the Resource Center, host a round table attended by: parents of children with AIDS, government officials, and the mass media. Topic for discussion is the public opinion regarding what services would be useful.

4. Offer ongoing medical, social, and educational counseling for families affected by AIDS.

5. Organize and hold 2 student conferences in 2 schools to educate children about HIV.

6. Write and submit 12 press releases, produce 4 radio spots, and 2 television spots regarding the activities of the entire SCOP AIDS program.

7. Disseminate brochures about HIV in schools and public areas.

8. Create a database of the proliferation of AIDS in the community, treatment administered, and results which then can be disseminated in the community.

Collaboration

Close ties will be pursued with other foreign and domestic AIDS organizations, with government officials, and with educators to ensure this program maximizes community impact.

Quality Assurance

During the first month of operation, a customer satisfaction questionnaire will be developed. This questionnaire survey will be used regularly to determine level of parental satisfaction. Using Total Quality Management methods, the staff will evaluate results, monitor trends in that satisfaction and discuss improvements. After 3 months, customer satisfaction goals will be set.

At the beginning and end of the year, we will test school children on their knowledge of AIDS-related issues. Quarterly reports will be written to inform donors of the current status of the program, the budget, the relationship with the public, the partners, customer satisfaction, and of the objectives for the next quarter. After one year, a meeting will be held with the mass media, government, and parents to discuss the results of the program.
