The "Hope and Beyond" Family HIV/AIDS Prevention and Awareness Project-India (the Project) is a Global Garden Projects project that utilizes communication technologies, cultural diplomacy, and mobilizes idealistic, energetic, and talented college and career bound high school students. The Projects' American students are of diverse ethnic/cultural backgrounds. They will provide culturally sensitive educational services for the people of India, whose society is composed of people of diverse ethnic/cultural backgrounds. As the Project moves forward, the American and Indian students will work together to broaden their knowledge to achieve humanitarian goals. The Project provides the opportunity for positive interactions between diverse peoples to better their lives. The Project carries the HIV/AIDS message, "prevention is a solution".

India: The United Nations in 2001 stated that India is in the unfortunate, horrific position of rapidly becoming the number one nation with HIV/AIDS infections and is expected to surpass African nations in the numbers of infected individuals by the end of this decade. The a-symptomatic incubation period of HIV/AIDS gives the disease the potential to exist undetected in an individual for up to ten years or more. Individuals, without the benefit of testing, will unknowingly spread the infection to others who will continue to spread this life-threatening disease.

India is also in the position to become a role model for all nations by supporting the students' mobilization against the further spread of HIV/AIDS. American students, working as cultural diplomats, will create and provide for the distribution of an HIV/AIDS testing and prevention kit that will be distributed to impoverished families in Indian. They will have the distinction of setting in motion this globally impacting HIV/AIDS health project. With HIV/AIDS prevention education, testing, and treatment made available to all ages and segments of society; this unchecked disease can be checked. Early detection can save lives.
