Did you know 25 Million Africans are living with AIDS?

25,000,000 Africans are HIV positive.

Team Afrika will carry this message live to the beautiful people of San Francisco - at the 20th Annual San Francisco AIDS Walk on Sunday July 16th, 2006.

For 20 years, San Francisco has not lost hope to the HIV / AIDS epidemic, and for this reason alone - millions are alive to walk that Sunday. We dream of a day this will also be true for millions of Africans living with HIV, who have little hope of walking for another 20 years.

In the meantime, we walk in America and raise funds for HIV patients living amongst us: our families, neighbors, friends, co-workers and that young kid down the street. Given the reduction in US Government funding for AIDS programs, these fundraising events are critical.

Since late May 2005 Team Afrika has participated in 3 AIDS Walk events (Boston, Washington DC, and New York CIty). Together we have raised $13,403 from 354 individual donations.

For the first time, Team Afrika will be walking on the West Coast, and thus far we have 2 individual donations and $600 raised - which is a pretty good start ...

Can you help? Mark your calendar for July 16th - the rest is the future.

Maame Ewusi-Mensah, Team Afrika member who walks for her brothers and sisters on the continent
