Blessings All,
Join me in honoring the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day on December 1st. It began in 1988 to focus global attention on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This year's theme is “Facing AIDS: World AIDS Day 2008.” Visit http://www.aids.gov.
How do you honor World AIDS Day? If you are a blogger, consider joining Bloggers Unite's campaign to spread the word about HIV/AIDS awareness during the month of December. Visit http://unite.blogcatalog.com/#previous.
You can also honor World AIDS Day by giving resources (i.e. donating services, money, clothing, office supplies, artwork, etc.) to organizations in your local community that promote HIV/AIDS awareness and serve people living with HIV/AIDS. Since 2002, I have supported The Women's Collective (http://www.womenscollective.org/), an organization located in my U Street neighborhood that serves women living with HIV/AIDS. My support has included free legal services and expressive arts workshops; public awareness campaigns included in my debut novel, Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One (www.lovestroubadours.com), author interviews, blogs, novel web site, social networking sites, YouTube videos, and radio shows; in-kind donations (i.e. clothing, books, and household items); and commissioned artwork. The Women's Collective was founded by my dear sistalove friend Patricia Nalls in 1993.
Many blessings,
Ananda
