desperate measures

[red-kitti.livejournal.com]

I have to translate a ton of things from Russian into English and I'm getting kind of overwhelmed (at home alone working on this on a Friday night). So, I'm turning to this community for its wisdom.

Note: translating isn't even my job over here in Russia - I just have to get a lot of info up onto a website in both English and Russian and there is NO ONE here with me that speaks English, so it's up to me. Any help would be greated appreciated:)

Original:

Главную же цель мы видим в объединении усилии всех ведомств и структур в противодействии распространения ВИЧ-инфекции, чтобы научить каждого молодого жителя области главному: самая надежная крепость против СПИДа - он сам.

Надеюсь, что благодаря усилиям всех нам это удастся.


My attempt:

We see the main goal (as) the unification of all (gov't) departments ad structure(s) in the opposition (to the) spread of HIV-infection, so that every young (?) inhabitant of the region is taught the main thing: reliable (dependable?, firm?) strength itself against AIDS - is itself (strength?).

I hope, that thanks to the efforts of all (to?) you it dies out (?).
