Among Shepherds and Blankets – My Experiences as a Volunteer in the Mountain KingdomBy Bianca Klee.
 Waking up every morning with a beautiful sunrise over the green mountains has been a dream come true for me.

The weather can change abruptly from bright and sunny to dark and mysterious.
I came to Thaba-Tseka as a volunteer with “Weltwärts”, a German organization supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Germany (BMZ). "Weltwärts” is a platform with projects on different subjects related to development aid for young people between the age of 18 and 28... read more

HIV Test-and-Treat: Are the 90 - 90 - 90 targets set for 2020 within reach?
.jpg)
Get Tested! Know your HIV Status! Slogans we hear a lot from the ambitious treatment target “90-90-90” introduced by UNAIDS in 2013. It means 90% of people who are HIV infected will be diagnosed, 90% of people who are diagnosed will be on antiretroviral treatment and 90% of those who receive antiretroviral will be virally suppressed by 2020.
If we reach this goal, the end of AIDS by 2030 is within reach. The concept 90-90-90 is intended to galvanise national and global action to control HIV and end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. One crucial part of this plan is bringing HIV treatment to all who need it... read more

Do you use a second or foreign language at work?
In most cases, nonverbal behaviour supports verbal behaviour. In other words, we try to send the same message through both verbal and nonverbal channels.
However, if the two contradict each other - with words saying one thing, while body posture, eye contact and smiles suggest another - people tend to believe the nonverbal message more than the verbal message... read more
