World AIDS Day 2005
Today is World AIDS Day 2005.
The World AIDS Campaign says:
The World AIDS Campaign (WAC) from 2005 to 2010 is calling on individuals and groups to support the theme "Stop AIDS. Keep the promise" aimed at governments and policy makers. The intention is to establish an international campaign to hold our leaders accountable for their promises and commitments and take the action necessary to deliver on them.
Achieving this ambition requires more support and action than people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS are able to generate on their own. What is needed is the involvement of more people from many different walks of life whether they are individuals or groups whether they are part of a trade union or a faith group or part of the women's movement or a young person wanting a better world in the future.
Everyone can contribute whether that is by making your promise to support the campaign and its work or by actively promoting the campaign with friends and colleagues.
So go. Make a promise. And then keep that promise. Educate yourself and work toward making the world a better place for yourself and the people around you. Donate either your money or your time to an organization that works to improve life for those living with HIV/AIDS. The Aliveness Project is an excellent organization that does exactly that. You can help them by donating money, and you can specify what you'd like that money to be used for. You can also donate money toward the holiday baskets, or "adopt" a basket, which would be a great deal of fun. Or, if you live in the Twin Cities, you could donate your time. They are always looking for volunteers, and this is a fun time of year for it because you could volunteer as a gift wrapper or a holiday basket filler.
So. Do something good, and do it with love and compassion.
