The Center for Applied and Professional Ethics (CAPE) will feature “Helping African Children Affected by HIV/AIDS,” with Susanna Grannis-Pflaum, on Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 7-9 p.m. in Harlen Adams Theater at California State University, Chico.
Grannis-Pflaum, director of CHABHA (Children Affected by HIV/AIDS), will deliver a multimedia presentation emphasizing how the devastating disease affects 14 million children, most of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa.
CHABHA is a newly developed, international nonprofit organization that helps children and families in Namibia, Rwanda and South Africa by providing direct aid to community-based child-care and education.
Grannis-Pflaum and her husband have visited southern and central Africa several times and she recently participated in workshops on anti-AIDS education in Rwanda in May 2003. She was a Fulbright Professor at the University of Namibia in 1996.
Grannis-Pflaum spent many years teaching in Massachusetts and Puerto Rico. She was a dean at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Queens College CUNY and Bank Street College, N.Y. She has authored or edited four books and more than 35 articles and chapters.
