The AIDSvideos.org project of Global Lifeworks is making scientifically and medically accurate HIV/AIDS prevention education available for free online in many languages. We wish to translate English scripts into as many other languages as possible, including Afrikaans.
To do this, you must have native-level fluency in a language other than English and enough fluency in English to understand the script you're translating. No special knowledge about HIV/AIDS is required; all scripts are targeted at ordinary laypeople, not specialists. You will need to sign and return a legal release granting Global Lifeworks the right to the finished translation.
You can volunteer to: perform the translation; proofread a translation done by someone else; present into the camera a finished translation (if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area or if you have your own filiming equipment); caption a finished video for the disabled and non-native speakers; or help promote awareness of the finished videos by notifying HIV/AIDS not-for-profits who work in countries where the language is spoken.
You can volunteer in this way from home on your own computer at your own pace! There is no minimum time commitment. We welcome volunteers for any language!
When you volunteer, you will be sent an email providing complete instructions on how you can get started right away.

Mission Statement
Global Lifeworks strives to stop the spread of HIV in our local communities through education and partnerships that focus both on HIV positive individuals and those at risk.
We accomplish our vision through prevention education, interactive forums, and partnering with other organizations dedicated to serving the medical and psychosocial needs of the HIV/AIDS community and those at risk. We offer seminars that examine belief systems and assumptions about who is infected by HIV and how they are treated in society. Finally, we build relationships and bridges between diverse communities to find new and unified ways of caring for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.
We are particularly committed to:
- Global and Local Health
- Adolescents and Youth At Risk
- The Value of Diversity
- Community Transformation via Collaboration
Description
Global Lifeworks was birthed out of the relationship between an HIV/AIDS physician and her patient. Together, they explored the unique ways to address the lack of education and awareness of HIV/AIDS by disseminating accurate information regarding transmission and prevention, while meeting the medical and psychosocial needs of the HIV/AIDS community. Additionally, they addressed the stigma and assumptions inherent in the HIV/AIDS pandemic by offering a transformational workshop called Discovery which assists individuals in examining the belief systems that influence their assumptions about who is infected and how they are treated. Global Lifeworks believes that the solution to the HIV/AIDS pandemic is already available. This is a disease that is 100% preventable and treatable, though not curable. By integrating all of our available resources medically, psychosocially, spiritually, and economically, we can provide education regarding transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS while working together to enhance the health and wellness of both the HIV positive individual and their community. Today, Global Lifeworks activities include:
- Creating scientifically and medically accurate HIV/AIDS prevention educational videos in many languages that are given away for free online
- Doing live in-person educational seminars and workshops about HIV/AIDS prevention
- Annual Lifeworks Seminars in Bakersfield, California for transgender individuals and their partners
- A partnership with Stellenbosch Gemeente Church in South Africa to serve those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in Kayamandi, a township of 25,000 people in South Africa
