My name is Fikadu Tura.I am head of the department of planing ,monitoring and evaluation at Adama City adminstration,labour and social affairs here in Oromia regional state in Ethiopia.My city Adama holds the first city status in Oromia and comes next to Addis Abeba at the Federal level.Becouse of hot commedity exchange in the city and stratagic location of the city in which it is found on the Ethio-Djibuty railway,high moblity entailed rapid expansion of the pandamic HIV/AIDS and my city stands among the highly hit cities in the country.
My organization at Adama city adminstration,Labour and social affairs is mandated to stand infront of the multidimentional social crisis among of which Humaniterian crisis as a result of the rampant HIV is one and probably the front one.My academic background is in education as a dicipline and currently,I am working in the office of labour and social affairs office.Even though the course you organized in Teaching and the AIDS Pandemic,to be offered from 0 August 2010 – 21 May 2011 is limited to certain African countries,I kindly reques you to consider the heavy problem with us and give me the opportunity to join the course.
Thank You!!!
