We recommend the following sites to start your quest for more information and organizations who are fighting this disease:

Dream For Africa - One of the groups Lance and Kelly traveled with in the film. People just like you who step out of their world for 10 days to three months to do something with lasting significance.

Adventures In Missions - The other organization Lance & Kelly went wth to Swaziland. AIM is currently working in the schools and foster home seen in the film, while providing opportunities for more like Lance and Kelly to go tp Swaziland.

Acting on AIDS - A program started by Christian college students to create awareness and activism of the global AIDS pandemic among their peers at colleges and universities across the nation.  With the support of World Vision, Christian college students have formed a network of Acting on AIDS chapters which seek to change hearts on campuses, create awareness in communities, and advocate for those impacted by the global AIDS pandemic.
