My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Mission

CARIFEST C.A.R.E.S is a Reggae Benefit Concert that has joined forces with KEEP A CHILD ALIVE to help fight the war against AIDS in Africa.

KEEP A CHILD ALIVE is an urgent response to the AIDS pandemic ravaging Africa. With more than 28 million dead and 15 million orphaned, the disease continues, wiping out whole societies, threatening economic infrastructure and creating tragic family devastation. They provide life-saving medication, support, and orphan care, to keep these children and families alive. KEEP A CHILD ALIVE gives 100% of public donations to their cause. For more information on Keep A Child Alive please visit www.keepachildalive.org .

A percentage of all proceeds from the concert will go to Keep A Child Alive AIDS Organization.
