World AIDS Day - 5 for 5 Campaign

Today is World AIDS Day, and the start of the organization From HIV to Home's Five for Five campaign.
A chance to give $5 a day for 5 days - each day funding a different project serving orphans living with HIV.




Would you like to participate?
Today's project is "Agape Children's Home" in Thailand. Located in Chiang Mai Thailand, the Agape Home for babies with HIV/AIDS opened in May 1996 as a response to the plight of children impacted by the spread of HIV/AIDS across Thailand. All of the children who come to the Agape Home to live are, or are at risk of being, HIV positive. Many of them have already lost their parents to AIDS, and there are no other options for their care.


All "5 for 5" donations received today (December 1) will be designated toward Agape's current building project - a village of smaller homes where children will be able to live in a more family-type situation rather than in one large facility.
 
If you wish to contribute, please click here to be directed to From HIV to Home.  They have a 'network for good' button on their front page dedicated to today's project.
 
Thank you for reading, and for letting me share a little piece of my heart.
 
 
Peace.
