My View from Nigeria

It is with great pleasure that i write, honestly to commend this wonderful gesture of yours. My name is Dosunmu Olabisi Oluwaseun, a young Nigerian who has been privately involved in the campaign against the spread of HIV/AIDS. One thing i've been able to discover about this subject matter is that there's still much to do about information and education of people, especially the youth on this scourge. Many would think they have enough knowledge about it but they know little or nothing. Some even believe it's a curse. However, it will be very appropriate if more hands can be employed or sponsored to tackle this challenge. Thanks for noting this.

Yours sincerely Dosunmu.

It is with great pleasure

It is with great pleasure that I read this response from you. I do agree that ignorance is a beast that we must take head on in this fight against AIDS. Let me know how I can I encourage leadership in your region to do more to educate people, especially the youth about HIV and AIDS. Can I challenge you and make you think of how I could be of use to your advocacy needs in your setting?
