About the Fellowship
Work Placement

Engagement in the work of the federal government lies at the heart of a White House Fellowship. Work assignments can offer unparalleled experience working with senior administration officials on ever changing issues and challenges. This work often requires long hours and, at times, unglamorous duties that require as much perseverance as ability on the Fellows' part.

...

Fellows have also had the opportunity to travel internationally. Fellows have traveled to Turkey, Poland, and Russia to study emerging democracies and international security. Fellows have also traveled to South Africa and Botswana to learn about the African Growth and Opportunity Act and HIV/AIDS issues. And Fellows have studied human rights issues in China and Vietnam, and have traveled to India and Pakistan to study nuclear policies and the issues surrounding the disputed Kashmir territory.

I've been researching this because it's very troubling. Really great strides against HIV and HIV transmission have been made since President Obama created ONAP (Office of National AIDS Policy) which issued the NHAS (National hiv/aids strategy).  However, as both the office and the work was under the old administration, these pages (for the now unemployed?? Amy Lanksy, director of ONAP; and for the NHAS)  have been erased! I'm guessing as ONAP was White House initiative, ONAP and NHAS are gone until - or if - President T (shudder) reopens the office.

aids.gov still has the NHAS .... for now :(
