Publicize in your faith community's newsletter or bulletin. It's time for the shame and the secrecy to come to an end. Recognize and acknowledge members of your faith community for volunteering in the areas of AIDS ministry. There may be too many barriers to this occurring immediately, but start planting some seeds. You might develop a series of special events to include guest speakers and religious leaders who will provide accurate information and instill compassion.
Help is needed with rides, food, supplies, games, etc.
Conduct a worship service on compassion and AIDS ministry. Network with other communities of faith for ideas and support through the educational process. Publicize and attend events, plays, and movies related to AIDS to further awaken to how this disease affects all of us. Coordinate a program to solicit contributions for holiday gifts to Tucsonans living with HIV and their families. The Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation seeks assistance with their holiday program.
