3. Protect Yourself 1 - PY1 is a media-driven agency with a focus on providing
HIV Awareness, Education and Prevention in innovative ways. PY1 has a
history of development and implementation of social marketing media
campaigns and services in Baltimore, Maryland and nationally.
In 2011, Sarvana Haalan convinced PY1 to join Second Life, Techsoup
donated a space, Hydra Shaftoe built PY1 office on NonProfit Commons, and
many avatars-friends contributed to PY1 virtual presence….
To have created a virtual office gave an opportunity to PY1 to network,
collaborate, create events, fundraise, entertain, educate and promote its
programs and services. Thanks to TechSoup, PY1 is exploring and utilizing the
virtual world, Second Life, to forward its mission: HIV and STD Awareness,
Education and Prevention, globally.

4. PY1 is a non-profit organization whose stated mission is to
educate people about HIV/AIDS and related diseases.
Exploitation of the environment has lead to increased
human exposure to disease. To protect ourselves from this
exposure, we must increase our awareness of threats to
animals and our ecosystem. Protecting ourselves means
creating new models for healthy living.
The interdependence between Health, Wild Life and
Environment is a priority at PY1. To respond to the issues
we are committed to developing and sharing specific
actions to:
PROTECT YOUR LIFE
PROTECT WILD LIFE
PROTECT YOUR PLANET

Safe2Live

7. Safe2Live in JokaydiaGrid
Creating the Safe2Live in JokaydiaGrid allows
the campaign to provide information, resources
and support for under-served populations
nationally and internationally.
JokaydiaGrid is the ideal option for elementary
school students, teachers, and parents looking
to experience 3D science-based learning.
The creation of virtual-world-based Safe2Live
e-learning experience gives community
stakeholders, community based organizations,
educators and parents another way to educate
youth about HIV/AIDS and STDs prevention,
associated stigma, and commonly associated
challenges related to the AIDS epidemic.

8. PROTECT YOUR LIFE
Safe2Live
We believe that, by adapting Safe2Live intervention to a virtual world
format, we have created a cost-effective and proven model, that can
serve many more youth, not just in the Washington-Baltimore corridor,
but literally anywhere.

Protect Yourself
The Protect Yourself Campaign is designed to impact adults and seniors with
positive messages of responsibility and awareness, through various media,
including a 5-minute Protect Yourself music video,
a 30-second Public Service Announcement,
and the multi-lingual Stop Signs Project.

11. PROTECT
WILD
LIFE
The Project Arrowhead service
encourages awareness and
education for all youth, especially
those living in high-risk areas where
HIV and related diseases have an
alarming infection rate.
The service, using hands-on
activities involving horses, yoga,
health education, nature and
ecology, delivers an overall message
of social and personal awareness
and responsibility, which helps youth
to develop a sense of mutual respect
for themselves, and the iconic wild
Mustang.
Project Arrowhead increases positive
youth behaviors and wild horse
preservation.

A hope of sustainable living
The BE A PROTECTOR campaign proposes the creation of real and
virtual communities to create environmental sustainable solutions to
protect our planet. By joining diverse communities around the world,
which have already started their own initiatives, the campaign is an
extraordinary and exciting adventure.
The BE A PROTECTOR campaign makes Protectors aware of their
responsibilities, engages them in the fight against the environmental
global crisis, proposes actions to resolve global sustainability problems,
and becomes part of the solution; a healthier and safer planet.
