Boston AIDS Africa Caregiver Kit Event
Saturday, November 22, 2008
Back Bay Events Center 180 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA
www.BostonAidsAfrica.org

Boston AIDS Africa is coordinating the largest single day event caregiver kit event to assist the caregivers of AIDS patients in Africa so you can provide "care with dignity". On Saturday, November 22nd, in honor of World AIDS Day on December 1st, we are hosting an event that will let you become involved.

Through World Vision, we are coordinating an effort to provide 10,000 Caregiver Kits to a select region in Africa. These kits equip caregivers with the practical materials they need to bring dignity and comfort to those living with AIDS. These kits include basic supplies like washcloths, latex gloves, antibacterial soap, and medications that improve and prolong the lives of those living with AIDS while protecting caregivers and preventing the spread of infection.

Each kit costs $30, and your gift of any amount will help equip caregivers with the practical materials they need. Donating through this site is simple, safe, and totally secure. Through the work of World Vision, there is hope in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Together we can make a lasting difference in lives affected by AIDS!

Thank you for caring.

About Boston AIDS Africa
Boston AIDS Africa is a coordinated effort by concerned Boston business women who are trying to improve the lives of a group of needy and underprivileged members of our world community.

Using our New England business contacts, colleagues, and friends, we are determined to demonstrate the Boston area's compassion and respond to the enormous need that exists in African villages affected by the AIDS crisis. Please consider joining our efforts in whatever way you can. Every single "Caregiver Kit" we ship provides items that improve the life of an AIDS patient and make it safer for caregivers to continue to help them.
