the TIME for CHANGE is NOW: GIVEAWAY

1 in 20 DC adults is positive for HIV.

I'm involved with The Grassroot Project which uses Division I student athletes as role models to teach at-risk DC youth ways to prevent contracting HIV/AIDS. The program is completely unique in that we use the universal love of SPORTS to teach the kids.

The Team Up campaign is an affiliate of The Grassroot Project. We're bringing the GLOBAL issue of HIV/AIDS to the World Cup 2010. Team Up is planning on running parallel Grassroot programs in DC and Soweto, South Africa leading up to the World Cup. The kids in DC will be paired up with kids from South Africa as pen pals and will be sharing videos about their experiences! [How awesome is that?!?!]

Read MORE about my experience with the Team Up campaign HERE!

We're doing some serious fund-raising! The sponsorship levels are listed, but any amount (even one dollar) will make a difference!!! Okay, okay... here's where the GIVEAWAY comes in!

  2. This give away brings attention to HIV/AIDS awareness. The Team Up campaign spreads awareness though peer education which is great because children relate better to people who are closer to them in age. HIV/AIDS can be prevented thorough education and awareness and providing people with the resources they need to be safe.

  34. While you're teaching them about the dangers of HIV/AIDS, you should briefly caution them about the dangers of payday loans. Bankruptcy, losing your car... those loans are dangerous!
