Public health educator and <br />photographer Reynolds brings home both the facts <br />and the faces of Southern Africa’s HIV/AIDS <br />pandemic, including the orphan crisis it’s creating. <br />The first-hand perspective offered by her slides is <br />interwoven with shorts from the Media That Matters <br />Film Festival. <br /> <br />Reynolds became interested in HIV/AIDS as a student <br />in the peer education program at South Eugene High <br />School. After graduating in 2000, she earned a BA <br />from Wesleyan and has completed masters <br />coursework in International Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. For the past <br />three years, Reynolds has worked on and off in South Africa on HIV prevention projects and programs to <br />provide care for orphans and vulnerable children. With a South African colleague, she started an <br />organization called “Thembanathi,” which aims to increase awareness of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and <br />provide support to South Africans working to prevent HIV and ease its consequences, with a special <br />focus on orphan care and support. For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library, 682-5450. <br /> <br />University of Oregon Students Volunteer to Improve Habitat <br />On Sunday, November 20, more than 100 students from Greek Life at the University of Oregon will <br />spend the afternoon planting native plants along the bike path in Amazon Park as part of the Eugene <br />Stream Team program. <br /> <br />The new path connects the existing bike path with the swimming pool and community centers. By using <br />native plants in the landscaping, this new transportation corridor will also be used by birds, insects, and <br />amphibians which are visibly populating the enhanced wetlands nearby. Students will gather at 1 p.m. to <br />start planting. For more information, contact Lorna Baldwin, Stream Team coordinator, 682-4850, <br />913-1292, or at lorna.j.baldwin@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />November 17, 2005 <br /> <br />
