About Me

This page is dedicated to my uncle, Luis A Colon (1954 - 1996). In 1993, he was diagnosed with full blown AIDS & was given 6 months to live - he lasted 3 years. In those 3 years, he spoke in high schools to brings awareness to teens. He said if he could make a difference in one person's life, it would be worth it. He is the reason why I made this page. I want to continue his work in bringing AIDS awareness to others.

My Interests

The ONE Campaign is an effort by Americans to rally Americans – one by one – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers and NASCAR moms, Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life, united to help make poverty history.The ONE Campaign derives its name from the belief that allocating an additional one percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world's poorest countries. We also call for debt cancellation, trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive package to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme poverty.You can start now by joining the ONE Campaign and pledging your voice to the fight against extreme poverty and global AIDS.Join the ONE Campaign by clicking on the banner.(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.What's the meaning of the parentheses or brackets? Well, we call them "the embrace." Each company that becomes (RED) places its logo in this embrace and is then elevated to the power of red. Thus the name -- (PRODUCT)RED.You, the consumer, can take your purchase to the power of (RED) simply by upgrading your choice. Thus the proposition: (YOU)RED. Be embraced, take your own fine self to the power of (RED). What better way to become a good-looking samaritan?!Join (RED) by clicking on the banner.To view these sites, please click on the banners.
