Beyond the Classroom presents "Envisioning a HIV-Free Generation of Children: Lessons for Effective Programs"

An Evening with Eric Bond,

Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation

                                                                                          

Around the world, nearly 700 children are infected with HIV every day. These infections are preventable and treatable. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is the global leader in the fight to end AIDS in children.  Since our inception 25 years ago, there has been a 95 percent decline in new HIV infections in the U.S., and a 51 percent decline in the number of new infections in children worldwide.  We have the science and medicine to get that number almost to zero. EGPAF is focused on ending AIDS in children and families with a three-pronged focus on research, advocacy, and HIV service delivery in the countries with the greatest HIV burden.

Eric Bond is a Senior Writer with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation in Washington, D.C. Eric previously served as Managing Editor for Bread for the World, a leading organization committed to a world free from hunger.
