AIDS Awareness Ribbon - Beaded Pin Tutorial

In this video, Rachel demonstrates her step-by-step approach to making an AIDS awareness ribbon beaded pin. She first learned the design while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in South Africa, and then later adapted the concept as a project for her Palala Girls Club (PGC) in the village of Kgobagodimo in the Limpopo Province.

The PGC was a PEPFAR-funded program aimed at teaching Grade 6 and 7 girls health-related and culturally-appropriate life lessons, while incorporating a fun activity or craft -- one which might generate a sustainable income within the rural community.
