‘Take Responsibility – Take Action’
Do YOU Support this initiative? – What can YOU do?
Companies and individuals lend your name to creating awareness!
‘HIVenture-Tour de Life’ aims to spread the word not the virus by promoting change in the lifestyle of South Africans to rapidly decrease the rate of infections.
The disease is still spreading with 1000 new infection daily in South Africa.
HIV and AIDS awareness has been neglected in the media over the past months adding to the decline of in-house awareness within the South African workplace.
Access to information for employers and employees is inadequate.
Focus will be on the corporate as well as public sector to increase information and dispel misconceptions by give personal testimony and mentorship.
“To mobilise and empower the South African business sector as well as the population at large to take effective action on HIV and AIDS”.
•Create an understanding of how HIV is transmitted in an attempt to curb the ongoing spread of the disease.
•Educate through experience and personal testimony of living with HIV and AIDS.
•Create awareness on how HIV and AIDS affects us all as a global community, infected or affected.
•Promote the view that those living with HIV and AIDS require understanding and consideration rather than judgment with a stigma attached to it as no one ‘deserves’ this disease.
Having counselled individuals and facilitated support groups living with HIV & AIDS, Cindy realises that more needs to be done to eradicate the stigma still attached to the virus.
This issue is preventing individuals from ‘coming out’ about their status and securing essential treatment and support.

Living THE best life possible
Hi All,
I am giving a talk on the 4th October 2012 and would like to address some of the issues you have experienced around stigma.
If you can give me something in about two hundred (200) words or a very short paragraph, that I can bring this to the attention of the forum I am presenting to.
It is local government, mining, corporates and other institutions that need to hear these ongoing issues.
Secondly, I would also like some feedback from those of you that this concerns, if, how and what AID My Journey-Support may have done to enhance your life; just a brief statement.
I would like your permission to use it so feel free to sign (anon, pseudonym or any other ‘name’ you wish to use, be creative) 😉
I am going to use this as a marketing tool to encourage support and sponsorships from corporates, individuals and other institutions as I need funding to maintain the centre.
Use my email address if you wish: cindy@cindypivacic.co.za
Who will be the first to order the soon to be released audio version of my book?

‘It is all about you if you can live with yourself, stuff everyone else!
I understand fully that it is a serious, terminal disease but it is manageable, so try to keep your sense of humour and “Deal With It”, sounds simple, but for some it will not be, that is why I would like to share the more positive side of my experience.’

A very special thank you to Charlotte Kemp and Shawn Fouche for sponsoring AID My Journey- Support’s website.
The site has had fantastic feedback and I look forward to the year ahead.
To all the people that landed or purposely came to the site, thank you for your support.
Today, the 20th January 2012 there has been a total of 4719 hits – impressive for this topic.
We should have a lot more hits due to the still sad lack of knowledge out there.

Cindy
