After discovering TeachAids, Jazzelle says “when the invitation and opportunity availed itself, there was no doubt I would make time for this because it’s an important tool to be used for many good years in my country and beyond. As an African woman and mother, HIV and AIDS are social ills that I believe I have a responsibility to sensitize my people about.”
