Today I want to talk about a wonderful volunteer group making a difference in the Boston (MA) area community. These are people who dedicate their lives to educate about the HIV virus.
They are the Alliance Volunteer Group.
The program is coordinate by Mariete Campiteli, supervisor of the Community Services and Outreach Program at Department of Community Affairs at the Cambridge Health Alliance.
They perform outreach in restaurants, clubs, festivals and parties delivering condoms and bilingual pamphlets to educate, prevent and treat HIV/Aids. Mariete and her group are exceptional people who overcome the financial barriers to educate about prevention. They volunteer job is crucial for a community that lacks resources in the Health care sector.
'The Make a Difference Night' will be held on October 1st to celebrate the group 10th Anniversary.
The program assists more than 500 people contaminated by the HIV virus.
Call Mariete Campitele at 617-591-6768 for more details and learn how to donate and help the cause. Help us to make a difference.
Note: " At the end of 2009, 33.3 million [31.4 million–35.3 million] people were estimated to be living with HIV, up slightly from 32.8 million [30.9 million–34.7 million] in 2008. This is in large part due to more people living longer as access to antiretroviral (anti-HIV) therapy increases. " http://www.actoronto.org
