    •  Education is only book reading or learning ? In our Country most of students stop going school till 5th standard .Reason is they are taught to read only books in schools.But every one ask me why my students are so much happy all the time ? Answer is very simple I convince them to learn, I give them a platform to implement all that they read in books. I encourage them to think of new things, thanks to my parents who have given my students a charge of my home to do what ever they want to learn new things here. I keep them busy in learning, they are soft spoken and confident, they know that education is not book reading only It is about learning to grow and to do progress.

  2. Fact of the day: Almost 80% of tuberculosis cases among people living with HIV reside in Africa.
  3. Did you know that the number of people in HIV care who were screened for tuberculosis (TB) increased 39% between 2010 and 2011? Significant progress has been made in providing antriretroviral treatment (ART) for TB patients known to be living with HIV (48%).

    Coverage needs to double to meet the World Health Organization (WHO)'s recommendation that all TB patients living with HIV are promptly started on ART.
  4. The new WHO 2012 World TB Report is out! 20 million lives have been saved thanks to work done by countries to control and treat TB. But much more needs to be done as the report also highlights the funding gap to continue this fight.
  5. Ambassador Goosby delivered remarks at the launch of a new initiative between the U.S. government, the Rwandan Ministry of Health and 14 American medical schools at a press conference Monday in Kigali, Rwanda.
