Getting more communities, cities, and countries involved in their
community members' daily lives eliminating weak

Creating awareness so prejudicial attacks on those infected
stops. |
 |
Placing understanding in the community that people suffering from
AIDS/HIV are human and are in need of compassion and
understanding as much as any other human. |
