I RECENTLY JUST GOT INVOLVED WITH KEEP A CHILD ALIVE (K.C.A)
I WAS WATCHING NIGHTLINE A FEW WEEKS BACK ON ABC. IT WAS A SPECIAL FEATURING ALICIA KEYS AND IT WAS ABOUT THE AIDS PANDEMIC IN AFRICA.IT TRULEY TOUCHED ME AND I WAS GREATLY INSPIRED BY ALICIA KEYS WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY HERO AND MOST OF ALL THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF AFRICA REALY TOUCHED ME. THE JOY AND SPIRIT THEY HAVE IS AMAZING AND THEY LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST UNDER THE VERY TRAGIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AIDS PANDEMIC. YOU COULD SEE THE HOPE IN THEIR EYES. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THE AIDS PANDEMIC BUT I'M HERE TO HELP PEOPLE REALIZE AND UNDERSTAND JUST HOW BAD IT IS AND HOW MUCH IT WILL GET WORSE.I CALLED K.C.A ORGANIZATION IN NYC AND SPOKE WITH A PERSON BY THE NAME OF CHRISTINE, I WAS TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ELIZABETH SANTISOS WHO IS THE COMMUNTIES ORGANIZATION MANAGER TO ASK HER IF I COULD DO WHAT I WANTED TO DO TO HELP. I TOLD HER THIS: WHAT I AM GOING TO DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PANDEMIC IS HOLD A MUSIC FESTIVAL/AIDS BENEFIT. ME AND A GROUP OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS WILL BE TAKING PART IN RAISING MONEY TO HOLD THIS EVENT IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. WE ARE GOING TO HOLD THIS MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT WILL INCLUDE,SINGERS,BANDS,DJ'S,AND DANCERS TO PERFORM AND JUST BLOW PEOPLE OUT OF THE WATER WITH AMAZING PERFORMANCES. EVERY TICKET WE SELL, ALL THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO K.C.A. MY GOAL IS TO SELL 500 TICKETS FOR 20 BUCKS EACH. IF WE GET IT THAT BIG THEN WE WILL HAVE RAISED 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF AFRICA. THE MORE PEOPLE WE GET INVOLVED THE MORE DONATIONS WE GET,MORE DONATIONS WILL GET MORE MONEY FOR THE ARV TREATMENT,MORE ARV TREATMENTS WILL SAVE MORE LIVES. HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO HELP. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL/AIDS BENEFIT WILL ALSO BE EDUCATIONAL ON THE AIDS PANDEMIC IN AFRICA AS WELL. I WILL BE POSTING EVENTS TO HELP RAISE MONEY AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE SENT OUT TO EVERYONE TO HELP!!
