YAMI-U is on in D.C.

Cable Positive's first Youth AIDS Media Institute University (YAMIU) is underway in Washington D.C. -- which also has the highest AIDS case rate in the country.

Just in case you haven't heard, YAMIU is teaching 17 youth to use the media they are on everyday to engage their peers about HIV/AIDS.

And, thanks to another generous gift from Motorola, all 17 of these young people are using the brand new Krave ZN4 mobile phone, to help them fine tune their awareness message -- not to mention, text, tweet, video, and take pictures of how they're getting the job done.

We can't tell you exactly what the theme of the campaign these young activists are producing, except that it is brilliant!

Check out what they've done so far on YAMIU's Facebook fan page, Twitter, and right here on this blog.
