Desc	AYUDA VOLUNTEER TRAINING PROGRAM THE PURPOSE OF THE AYUDA VOLUNTEER TRAINING PROGRAM (VTP) IS TO PREPARE AYUDA VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE AS AGENTS OF CHANGE IN THE DIABETES COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY WILL VOLUNTEER. PRE-PROGRAM TRAINING IS WELL ESTABLISHED AT AYUDA. IN 2015, AYUDA CONTINUED TO IMPROVE ITS VOLUNTEER TRAINING PROCESS WITH ADDITIONAL ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS (VTP E-COURSE) TO SUPPLEMENT IN-PERSON TRAINING IN WASHINGTON, DC (VTP SUMMIT). ADDITIONAL CULTURAL ORIENTATION TOOK PLACE IN-COUNTRY. THE AYUDA VTP OFFERED A COMPREHENSIVE, CULTURALLY AWARE, AND WELL-RECEIVED APPROACH TO DIABETES EDUCATION, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING. FOCUSING ON AYUDA'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT, AYUDA TRAINED AND PLACED 26 VOLUNTEERS ABROAD IN 2015. THIS YEAR ALSO SAW THE CONTINUATION OF AYUDA'S VOLUNTEER MENTOR UNIVERSITY (VMU) TRAINING INITIATIVE. VOLUNTEER MENTORS GATHERED IN WASHINGTON DC FOR THE FIRST INSTALLATION OF THEIR TRAINING DURING AYUDA'S FALL 2014 TRAINING SUMMIT AND LEARNED ABOUT THEIR NEW ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE VMU PROGRAM HAS FURTHER DEFINED THESE EXPECTATIONS, AS WELL AS GIVEN VOLUNTEER MENTORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE INVOLVED IN THE INNER WORKINGS OF AYUDA AND THEREFORE GAIN INSIGHT INTO NON-PROFIT MANAGEMENT. AS A RESULT OF THIS TRAINING, VOLUNTEER MENTORS HAVE PLAYED A LARGER ROLE IN THIS YEAR'S RECRUITMENT INITIATIVES, VOLUNTEER TRAINING PLANNING, AND VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT. VOLUNTEER MENTORS FOLLOWED UP THEIR INITIAL FALL TRAINING WITH ANOTHER IN-PERSON TRAINING IN WASHINGTON DC IN FEBRUARY 2015. VOLUNTEER MENTORS CONTINUED TO PLAY A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN PRE-PROGRAM TRAINING FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS, AS WELL AS PROGRAM PLANNING AND VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT IN COUNTRY, AS A RESULT OF THEIR INCREASED TRAINING.DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (DR) VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS AYUDA CONTINUED ITS SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION WITH APRENDIENDO A VIVIR (AAV) IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC IN 2015. AAV IS AYUDA'S LOCAL PARTNER IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, AND AYUDA HAS BEEN PARTNERING WITH THE ORGANIZATION SINCE 2009. AYUDA CONDUCTED 2 VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS IN THE DR IN 2015. DURING 2015, AYUDA STAFF MEMBERS CONDUCTED TWO SITE VISITS TO THE DR (APRIL AND NOVEMBER) THAT FOCUSED ON PARTNERSHIP BUILDING, CAPACITY BUILDING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE DIABETES OUTREACH STRATEGY, AND COORDINATION OF THE IN-COUNTRY AYUDA VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS. DR GANEMOSLE PROGRAM IN ITS THIRD YEAR AS A FULL PROGRAM, AYUDA LED A TEAM OF SIX VOLUNTEERS ON THE "GANEMOSLE LA CARRERA A LA DIABETES" (LET'S BEAT DIABETES RACE) PROGRAM. AYUDA VOLUNTEERS SUPPORTED AAV IN HOSTING THEIR THIRD ANNUAL 5 AND 10K RUN/WALK IN SANTO DOMINGO TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT DIABETES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE. THE VOLUNTEERS VISITED LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND PUBLIC SPACES TO PROMOTE EVENT REGISTRATION AND FITNESS EDUCATION. OVERALL, MORE THAN 3,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENTS. DR CAMPO AMIGO PROGRAMAYUDA RECRUITED AND TRAINED A TEAM OF 15 TALENTED VOLUNTEERS TO WORK IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH AAV. AFTER UNDERGOING INTENSIVE PRE-PROGRAM TRAINING, AYUDA VOLUNTEERS ARRIVED IN SANTO DOMINGO TO PREPARE DIABETES EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THIS YEAR APPROXIMATELY TWO-THIRDS OF AYUDA VOLUNTEERS WERE LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH AAV AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LOCAL CONTEXT IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS DIABETES OUTREACH ACTIVITIES INCLUDING VISITING THE LOCAL HOSPITAL, ASSISTING WITH AN EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP AT AAV, AND TRAVELING TO NEARBY SAN PEDRO DE MACOR S TO LEAD A DAY FULL OF WORKSHOPS WITH AAV YOUTH LEADERS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN LIVING WITH TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2 DIABETES. THIS YEAR ALSO MARKED THE FIRST YEAR THAT AYUDA VOLUNTEERS TOGETHER WITH VOLUNTEERS FROM AAV TRAVELED TO THE NEARBY PROVINCE OF SAN CRIST BAL TO VISIT A LOCAL CLINIC AND BEGIN ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION THAT WILL LEAD TO FUTURE OUTREACH PROJECTS FOR AAV AND AYUDA. VOLUNTEERS SPENT THE REST OF THEIR TIME FOCUSING ON CAMPO AMIGO DOMINICANO, A CAMP FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH DIABETES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE WERE TWO CAMP SESSIONS. THE FIRST SESSION WAS FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN ENGAGED WITH AAV; THE SECOND SESSION WAS FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WHO WERE RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE CAMP WAS EVIDENCE THAT CHILDREN CAN LIVE HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIVES WITH DIABETES. OVER 250 CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS ATTENDED THE CAMPS. HAITI VOLUNTEER PROGRAMIN 2015, AYUDA CONTINUED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOCAL HAITIAN DIABETES COMMUNITY (FHADIMAC: FONDATION HAITIENNE DE DIABETE ET DE MALADIES CARDIOVASCULAIRES) AND AFTER A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROGRAM IN 2014, LAUNCHED THE FIRST FULL PROGRAM IN SUPPORT OF FHADIMAC'S CAMP AMI DIABETES CAMP FOR YOUTH LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. AYUDA'S TEAM OF SIX VOLUNTEERS BEGAN THE PROGRAM IN PORT-AU-PRINCE REVISING ACTIVITIES FOR CAMP, PREPARING MATERIALS, AND GETTING TO KNOW FHADIMAC'S YOUTH LEADERS. AYUDA VOLUNTEERS THEN SUPPORTED FHADIMAC'S YOUTH LEADERS BY WORKING ALONGSIDE FHADIMAC'S LEADERS AS EDUCATORS AND COUNSELORS DURING THE OVERNIGHT CAMP. ECUADOR OUTREACHAYUDA CONTINUED ITS SUPPORT OF ITS LONGEST RUNNING PROGRAM: CAMPO AMIGO ECUADOR (CAE) BY PROVIDING OFFICE SPACE FOR THE JUVENILE DIABETES FOUNDATION OF ECUADOR (FDJE), OUR PARTNER IN QUITO. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT FELLOWSTHIS PROGRAM ENABLES AYUDA TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO AYUDA VOLUNTEERS WHO SEEK TO USE THEIR LEADERSHIP AND DIABETES TRAINING SKILLS IN AN INDEPENDENT STUDY PROJECT, BEYOND THE SCOPE OF OUR TRADITIONAL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OFFERINGS. IN 2015, AYUDA CONTINUED SUPPORT OF ONE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT FELLOW.JAMES STOUT USED HIS ONGOING AYUDA TRAINING TO CONTINUE AND GROW HIS FITNESS AND NUTRITION INITIATIVE WITH A GROUP OF PASCUA YAQUI INDIANS LIVING WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN TUCSON ARIZONA. FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, THE GROUP DEMONSTRATED THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS BY PARTICIPATING IN A 42-MILE BIKE RIDE WITH TOUR DE TUCSON. JAMES ALSO PARTICIPATED IN AYUDA TRAININGS FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS TO DEMONSTRATE THE WAYS THAT AYUDA TRAINING CAN BE APPLIED TO FUTURE INDEPENDENT PROJECTS.OTHER INTERNATIONAL YOUTH EMPOWERMENT ACTIVITIESAYUDA AND AYUDA REPRESENTATIVE MOLLY LEPESKA WAS RE-ELECTED TO CONTINUE TO SERVE ON THE ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR NCD CHILD FROM 2014 - 2016. NCD CHILD IS A GLOBAL MULTI- STAKEHOLDER COALITION THAT CHAMPIONS THE RIGHTS AND NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH LIVING WITH OR AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING NCDS, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF HAVING THEIR ISSUES INCLUDED ON THE GLOBAL NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE AGENDA. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE COALITION, AYUDA, ALONG WITH OTHER MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS IPA/AAP SAVE THE CHILDREN AND UNICEF, SUPPORTED NCD CHILD THROUGH VARIOUS ADVOCACY MOMENTS AND TELECONFERENCES IN THEIR INAUGURAL YEARS. LAST YEAR NCD CHILD'S SECRETARIAT WAS MOVED FROM CLAN (CHILDREN AND LIVING AS NEIGHBORS) IN AUSTRALIA TO THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS (AAP). IN JANUARY, AYUDA REPRESENTATIVE MOLLY LEPESKA ATTENDED THE FIRST AAP-HOSTED NCD CHILD ADIVSORY MEETING AND NOW ALSO SERVES ON THE COMMUNICATIONS AND THE YOUTH VOICES WORKGROUPS WHICH HOLD MONTHLY PHONE MEETINGS. THE NCD CHILD ADVISORY GROUP MEETS VIRTUALLY QUARTERLY. THE FOCUS OF 2015 WILL INCLUDE THE PROMOTION OF UNICEF'S FACTS FOR LIFE WHICH WAS UPDATED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF NCD CHILD TO INCLUDE FACTS ON NCDS AND THEIR PREVENTION.	Desc
