On this world AIDS day, I think of everything I've learned and supported over the past five years in Jericho's AIDS Awareness and AIDS Peer Educating clubs. Specifically, I think of our friend Steve, of Positive Police, who past away a couple of years ago after he spent so much of his time promoting the awareness of HIV and AIDS. Steve spoke at Jericho hs many times, and our clubs met with him many other times when we were at conferences. He had a way of speaking that got students to listen, and that was his gift.
Even on my campus in Israel today they are doing free AIDS testing. But not many people outside of awareness groups really know what HIV/AIDS can do to a body, nor do they really know what else is out there. Use today to KNOW THE FACTS!
Shalom, Cheers, and Peace
