Go green with CAFOD - Anolaska in Zambiacafodbigdeal
A solar-powered water pump was installed in a village in Zambia, benefiting the community in several ways. It allows Anolaska to fetch water near her home instead of walking for hours, so her sister Odetta can now get water nearby and the children are less late for school. The caretaker Sebastian says obtaining necessities is difficult, but the new pump will help farming. Villagers hope it prevents suffering from drought. The school chairman wants to build a proper school using locally sourced materials like bricks and sand.
The document discusses traditional models of consumer decision making that view consumers as rational information processors going through stages like problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, decision implementation, and post-purchase evaluation. It also discusses two common models - the hierarchy of effects model and the consumer information processing model. Both models view consumers as cognitively driven thinkers who develop brand awareness, knowledge, liking, preference, and conviction before making a purchase. However, some argue people do not always progress linearly through the stages or form preferences only after developing cognitive judgments.

Kurtz is described as an extraordinary and remarkable man who is in charge of an important ivory trading post. He is seen as a genius and a great success. However, others note that Kurtz has become increasingly ruthless and dangerous in his pursuit of ivory. Kurtz appears to have given into his darker impulses and lusts in the jungle.

AIDS is caused by the HIV virus which was first transmitted to humans from chimpanzees. It was first reported in Los Angeles in 1981 and primarily affected homosexual men by destroying the immune system, specifically CD4 cells. A diagnosis is made through ELISA testing and the results are kept confidential. Common symptoms include fevers, chills, sweats, swollen glands, weakness and weight loss. While there is no cure for AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can help increase immunity.
