Hello friends!
My roommate (fill in) and I are hosting a dinner part to benefit Face AIDS’ ‘Back to School’ campaign (for more information about Face AIDS and the campaign, see bottom of e-mail).
In exchange for good food, good drinks, and good fun we are asking for a suggested donation of $5- A STEAL! With your donation you will also receive a beaded AIDS awareness pin made by an HIV-affected Rwandan and a very nice bookmark with a bio of one of the students who will be receiving our funds.
Please e-mail me ASAP with any Friday/Saturday evening between Friday, October 11 and Saturday, November 22 that you WOULD NOT work for you. As soon as I hear back from you all we can set a date, those planning attending can e-mail food preferences/food you cannot or will not eat, and send out an e-vite.
I would love to have all of you come out; it will be lots of fun and all proceeds will go to a great cause!
Thank you all and have a great night!

Face AIDS’ ‘Back to School’ Campaign: Face AIDS has asked the members of our support groups in Rwanda what we can do for them, and they have told us that they would like to send their children to secondary school. Primary education is universal in Rwanda, but secondary school fees cost between $150- $250/year. The average Rwandan makes around $250 a year. Face AIDS chapters across the nation are aiming to raise $20,000 to send these students to school.
Face AIDS Background: Face AIDS is a national student-run non-profit organization that was formed in 2005 to combat the issue of HIV and AIDS in Africa. We are currently working with international NGO Partners In Health to fundraise for their clinics in Rwanda. This past Spring we surpassed our goal of raising $1,000,000 for PIH-Rwanda.

How cool, Meredith! I look forward to hearing about your dinner party! It seems like Face AIDS is a very organized group with a lot of energy among its members.
