See how one African pastor is combating the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS in his own community. (A short film by Chronicle Project.)
How Should We Respond? Five things everyone can do.
1. Get Educated and know the facts about HIV/AIDS. Most people have fears, stigmas, and misinformation about HIV/AIDS. Spend a few minutes and learn the truth about HIV/AIDS so you can help educate others.
2. Support a local HIV/AIDS organization or ministry. Find an organization in your community and find out how you can help support them financially or with your time.
3. Host a Screening of Dear Francis at your school, church, or other organization. Go to the website dearfrancis.org and click on the screening info tab for information on hosting a screening. Yes this is one of our films, but we really think it's a great way to educate people on this complex pandemic and to start a discussion on what you can do.
4. Donate to organizations that are making a difference in the fight. Some starting points are in the resource section below, but there are literally hundreds of groups working to end AIDS be it through education, prevention, medication, or poverty relief.
5. Pray for those who are infected or affected with HIV/AIDS as well as those who are devoting their lives to help find a cure, provide care, and offer compassion and hope to those who are suffering.
