Effort To Fight AIDS And Malaria

April 9th, 2008

I reported to you previously about TASO and how “Uganda Still An Example To The World” in the AIDS fight; as it was one of the first countries to show that prevention could work by taking a proactive stance.

One Campaign Graphic

I signed this letter to go to my senator in the link at the bottom of the post, urging that we continuing funding to help fight disease. Why not let us help those who help the selves especially.

Please take a few moments to urge your senator to take this stand.

Frome the One Campaign:

My name is Agnes Nyamayarwo. I’m a nurse, a mother and an activist living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda.

It has been more than a decade since I lost my husband, Augustine, and youngest child, Christopher, to AIDS; another son, Charles, ran away from home to escape the stigma of this disease.

TASO Uganda AIDS

Now I honor their memory through my work with an organization called TASO (The AIDS Support Organization) here in Kampala, Uganda. At TASO, I work with HIV/AIDS patients, orphans and mothers to try and save others from experiencing the pain I have.

I am also a member of the TASO Board of Trustees, representing the views of people living with HIV/AIDS in all the 11 centers of TASO across the country. You can learn more about TASO here.

Your work at ONE to make global AIDS an American priority has touched my heart. Last week, you asked your members of Congress to support the reauthorization of PEPFAR and fund the fight against AIDS, TB, and malaria and you won.

Now PEPFAR goes to the U.S. Senate and I’m asking you to please sign ONE’s petition and urge your senators to co-sponsor this lifesaving bill.
