Please pray for our firefighters! The Station Fire is now at 219 square miles, with over 60 homes destroyed, thousands of people displaced from their homes, and two firefighters lost, Capt. Ted Hall, 47, of San Bernardino and Arnie Quinones, 35, of Palmdale – whose wife is expecting a child in a few weeks. Today, they've concluded that it was human-caused, not lightning. 3,600 firefighters are battling the blaze along the 50 mile fire line, with full containment expected around Sept. 15 since bulldozers still have about 95 miles of fire line to build. The smoke has drifted all the way to Denver.
• Breitbart (9/2/09) Fire official: Big LA forest fire human caused.
330-338 – Moira Chimombo, is Executive Director of SAFE, the Sub-Saharan Africa Family Enrichment program based in Malawi, a program based on Dick Day's and Josh McDowell's book Why Wait? What You Need to Know About the Teen Sexuality Crisis (whywaitafrica.com). She is a retired Professor of Education from the University of Malawi, and she today publishes and lectures internationally on applied linguistics, language education, and the moral values-based life skills education that is necessary for HIV prevention. She translated and adapted the Why Wait? curriculum for primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges, in Africa; and she regularly trains educators how to implement the curriculum in several African countries. The core curriculum is based on the ABCs of HIV prevention: A: Abstinence until marriage, B: Being faithful while married, and C: Condom use (or Christ-like character for Christian application).
Brief History of SAFE:
1987 – Dick Day and Josh McDowell co-author Why Wait? What You Need To Know About The Teen Sexuality Crisis.
1990 – Dick Day comes to Chancellor College, University of Malawi, on a one-year sabbatical to teach. Moira meets him. Dick asks her to translate the book, she declines, but she agrees to create the curriculum to teach young Malawians the life skills they need to avoid HIV. Moira had already started working on this, having lost over 500 friends, relatives, colleagues, and students to AIDS by the early 1990s.
1993 – Dick founds SAFE as a faith-based non-governmental organization (NGO), with like-minded people, to address the AIDS pandemic in Africa, having been asked by the Malawi Ministry of Education to develop a character curriculum.
1994 – Moira comes to Southern California to draft the first edition of the Why Wait? Truth for Youth Curriculum for African Schools. In the following years, she creates an 8-year curriculum, for Grades 5-12, and trains over 5,000 elementary and high school teachers to implement it in the government schools in Malawi, and subsequently also in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Lesotho. She also develops a 6-session college level course (WhyWaitAfrica.com).
2002 – SAFE's work expands to include early childhood development (ECD), when Charlotte Day, Dick's wife, opens the first holistic, culturally-appropriate ECD center that becomes a model for replication elsewhere, and is the start of the early childhood component which caters to both orphans and vulnerable children (ECD/OVC).
2005 – Charlotte starts Gogo Grandmothers, linking grandparents in the US with those caring for orphans in Malawi (GogoGrandmothers.com).
2009 – Moira has been invited to speak at the Fifth World Congress of Families because of her "family approach," which aims to move orphans from survival, to stability, to success, to significance, to victory over AIDS – God Intends Victory!
• Kay Warren (07/11/02) HIV/AIDS: S.L.O.W. It Down, or S.T.O.P. It? Saddleback's Kay Warren offers a dual framework for fighting the virus.
To SLOW HIV/AIDS: S: Support the correct use of condoms with every sexual encounter. L: Limit the number of partners, because studies have also shown that the greatest risk is in multiple partners. O: Offer needle exchange. Studies have shown that in some places clean needles can slow down the transmission of HIV. W: Wait for sexual debut. Studies have shown that the younger a person is at their his or her sexual encounter, the more likely it is that he or she will be infected with HIV.
To STOP HIV/AIDS: S: Save sex for marriage. T: Teach men and boys to respect and honor women and girls. O: Offer treatment through churches. P: Partner with one person for life.
