Message
from Leigh Blake - Founder Keep A Child Alive
We thank you so much for your efforts to join in the fight against Global
AIDS. This is perhaps the worst humanitarian disaster the world has
ever faced, and the most important moral issue of our time. You are
using your voices to help create and fuel a global movement. With your
support we can let our leaders know that it is unacceptable to have
lost 25 million people to this disease, and with your contributions
we can make sure that life-saving medicine goes directly to children
and families with AIDS who are in desperate need. Your contribution
is very, very valuable and we really appreciate your support.
KEEP
A CHILD ALIVE and ONE WORLD BEAT 2004
Keep A Child Alive is a innovative new organization founded as an emergency
response to the global AIDS epidemic.
Keep A Child Alive is unique in it's focus on ACTION - providing people
around the world with the opportunity to pay directly for life-saving
antiretroviral medicine for children and families who need it desperately.
Keep A Child Alive is a member of the Global Action for Children Campaign
and the Global AIDS Alliance.
Your contribution can do so much. With the money that is raised during
One World Beat's 2004 Global Music Festival we will:
· Pay directly for antiretroviral treatment for children and
their families who cannot survive without it.
· Provide support to our ARV treatment programs in Africa by
paying for diagnostic tests and other needs.
· Help train doctors, nurses and health workers to administer
ARV treatment to those in need.
· Fund a global campaign to engage the public and ensure that
sufficient resources are mobilized to fully fund the fight against global
AIDS!
