Do global health work in Liberia---please spread this opportunity!

Don't think I've written much about about this yet, but over the last year, I've felt privileged to work with a truly innovative Liberian organization called Tiyatien Health. Founded by survivors of Liberia's civil war, TH partners with local communities to provide care for HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases. Through a core network of paid community health workers, "accompaniers," TH both treats these complex diseases, and addresses the root issues of poverty and dis-empowerment that perpetuate illness. Some of you friends voted for TH in an online Changemakers competition last year, and we won!

TH is recruiting for two exciting positions: an HIV/AIDS Capacity Building Officer, and a National Health Policy Advisor. Both are 1-year volunteer positions, based in Liberia. RECRUITING NOW. Would be most grateful for sharing this among circles of potentially interested people. Thanks!

Here's the National Health Policy Advisor job description and contact info:
