• Looking the Storm in the Eye: The Impact of Natural Disaster on Pediatric AIDS

I will focus on pediatric AIDS patients in Mustard Seed Communities, the only home on the island for orphaned children suffering from AIDS. Collaborating with researchers from the medical school at the University of the West Indies, I will study the history of HIV/AIDS on the island of Jamaica, social and cultural stigmas surrounding the illness, and the impact of natural disaster on children suffering from AIDS.
