this is an amazing report of what has become an awesome annual event. a great way to network both african and domestic HIV/AIDS organizations. sounds like an amazing turnout as well.

i really love your idea of providing first-hand statements from those who worked the table with you. and of coming away with the hard question to challenge us with . . . . . hard in that it takes a real honest commitment on our parts to do whatever we can, great or small, in the education and eradication of AIDS. and the new perspective on the definition of health is a paradigm shift for many as so many people with AIDS and HIV positive, like maybe our cancer patients here in the west, can choose to be healthy in that they are living with their disease, not dying from it. our moon shot is indeed attainable.

you have a great and diverse team of volunteers there in Twin Cities, and that is an tribute to your great outreach and leadership. congratulations, you’ve done well.

thanx for reporting this. keep up the great work.

stay close,

sammi =)
