Carl James, a 2003-04 Hart Fellow in Moshi, Tanzania, worked with
KIWAKKUKI (the Swahili acronym for Women Against AIDS in Kilimanjaro) to
research the impact of different care environments on orphaned children.
In addition to his research, Carl worked with the Memory Project, an
international effort to preserve the memories of HIV+ parents for their
children through photographs and written stories, to be passed on after a
parent's death. In his off-hours he taught videography and dance to youth at
the United African Alliance Community Center (UAACC).
As a Duke undergraduate, Carl conducted research in rural communities in
Uganda, and interned with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
and the United States Department of Agriculture. He served as president of the
Duke University Black Pre-Health Organization during his senior year, and was
director of alumni affairs for the university's Black Student Alliance. He
graduated in May 2003 with a self-designed course of study, "Health Issues
in Developing Countries."
