An open letters to my readers, especially friends at Oakland University.
To Whom It May Concern:
Today as we’re sitting in classes and going about our everyday lives, AIDs will claim the lives of 6,000 people worldwide and infect an additional 8,200. More jolting still is the fact that 60% of these people infected worldwide live in Africa.
Not willing to sit idly by, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and World Vision present the HIV (+) Campaign here on campus September 19-21. Christian or not, if you are one who seeks justice and loves mercy, I personally invite you to be part of this campaign.
Intervarsity is inviting all student organizations to sell tickets for $3 in support of building a clinic for AIDs victims in Africa. The ticket will allow students to come to a “Deal or No Deal” game show at the tent on the 21st, an event that is sure to include food, a riveting message, and prizes (such as an X-Box 360). Other events are listed on fliers throughout campus. I'd be happy to fill you in with more of the details if you leave a comment.
I’m positive that something must be done to stop this. Will you be part of the global solution?
Sincerely,
Stefanie Bohde
