Introduction from a new member of the FORUM

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I have recently become a member of this group and thought it appropriate to

introduce myself and learn more about all the other members.

I am, Chandni Malik, 24, a Youth Program Fellow with the Asia pacific Division /

Adolescent and Youth Cluster, of UNFPA.

I have a Masters degree in Social Work, with a major in Family and Child Welfare

from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai and a Bachelors degree in Mass

Media and Mass Communications from Delhi University. For the past two years, I

have been working in the field of Young Peoples Sexual and Reproductive Health

and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.

I was employed with an NGO based in Mumbai called Modicare Foundation as a

Program Officer for the School and College Program, and was a State Level

Trainer (of trainers) for UNICEF on their SALSEP (School Adolescents Life Skills

Education Program), in Maharashtra, India.

I am currently based at the UNFPA Headquarters in New York, where I work on

issues pertaining to youth in Asia including setting up of youth advisory panels

for countries on their request.

It would be nice to know a little more about all of you, and I think its great

that such a forum exists for us to discuss issues and interventions regarding

HIV/AIDS in India.

Thanks and regards,

Chandni
