Burning the candle at both ends has a different meaning for Louise Haynes, director of Japan AIDS Prevention Awareness Network (JAPANetwork).
Haynes is also a full-time instructor at Nanzan University in Nagoya. One end of the candle is to bring the light of education in English to EFL students. The other is to remember those with AIDS and to help stop its spread in Japan.
JAPANetwork is an organization of teachers and other volunteers around the country who are interested in teaching HIV/AIDS in the English language classroom. "Basically we provide the teaching materials that teachers can photocopy freely for their students. We also provide the basics in case the teacher needs up-to-date information."
