This year we are not looking to raise thousands of dollars as we have in the past (www.teamafrika.org), though every little bit helps the Whitman Walker Clinic - which provides excellent HIV care in the Washington DC area. Please do give what you can afford, times are even harder for HIV patients.
In the next few weeks, we will explore some of the 'drama' that keeps people of African descent at the forefront of the HIV epidemic, worldwide. From Washington DC to Jo'burg to Kingston to London to Kinshasa to Accra to Paris to Dakar to Atlanta, and beyond. Cud dis be white man juju on African people ?
Also, on friday Oct 2nd (the night before the walk) we hope to host a 'First Fridays' event with a "truth circle" as the main theme. We are fortunate and excited to have onboard our sister Dr Mehret Mandefro, one of the founders of www.truthaids.org to lead the discussion. This should be real good people, stay tuned for details.

I'm gonna post something on Facebook to mobilize the masses as much as possible. Will also spread the word about the fundraising for the Bugando students. I had wanted to do the same thing for some primary schools and kids in orphanages.
One!
