Today, December 1, marks the 20th anniversary of WORLD AIDS DAY (1988-2008). Yet in 2008, much remains to be done to stop this epidemic.
That said much has been accomplished; but a cloud hovers, nevertheless over progress to be achieved to deliver on the promise to STOP AIDS. The mantra --theme for 2008: "Lead, Empower, Deliver." Consequently, the question to yous: On which of these will you carry the message forward? Quite frankly on this, everyone has a choice to run with the bulls. We can all be messengers on a worthy cause. How we wish it would just go away. But it won't; not without your help and collaboration.
Persons like yourself and groups all over the world are actively trying to help those still facing the ravages of the disease. Yes, AIDS as a deadly disease continues. Lives are still being lost in places like Kenya, Uganda, Southern Africa, the Caribbean, India, etc. Of course, in places like the United States one sees much improvement among those stricken with the disease. But a cloud still hovers over us on our ability to save lives. How will you put a break in the clouds? Shed some sunshine to: lead, empower or deliver? In short, save a life. Stop Aids.
Again, today is World Aids Day and the international community has not only a great deal to celebrate, but also a great deal to be concerned about as events are held around the globe. But the message to all of us -- get involved, and lets work together to take away that stigma attached to that innocent child... anyone "out there."
Ending the Epidemic-- Aids, should be a commitment and a responsibility of all of us who consider ourselves citizens of the world and with a stake in our planet. Therefore, may the lasting words this day forward, remains: GET INVOLVED!!

World Aids day is a very necessary celebration. Considering how many families and individuals have been decimated by this disease it makes good sense to highlight it and find ways to get everyone involved. In fact there was quite a celebration at St. Alban's Presbyterian Church that was fairly well attended. It was sponsored by Mr. Leroy Comrie Council member for South East Queens.
I am thrilled that the word is stil getting out and that people with Aidsa at least realize that they no longer have a death sentence. Those without the disease are also made more aware of how the disease is spread and how to practise prevention.Kudos to all those who are causing this disease to get more attention and to spread the facts about it. Manchester Square congratulations on your contribution.
