I find it intriguing and somewhat overwhelming that so many people are eager (admirable I might add) to support a cause. On one site over 6,290 people ‘like’ the page of a beautiful animal but when it come to the human race, that’s us; you, me, your brother, sister, mom, dad, aunt, uncle, cousin and the list goes on, are not nearly as important a cause to support.
Is it FEAR, ignorance or just plain……………..it’s them not me?
What has happened to your compassion for the human race, pray tell, I would love to hear.
I can guarantee you, you may not know it but someone you know IS living with the HI virus but because they are fearful of rejection they choose not to share their status with you.
Eventually they find themselves in poor health with nobody to turn to and guess what? They seek out others like themselves and hope for the best! OR they also become…….EXTINCT.
Not everyone has ’brought it upon themselves’ as some will warrant their lack of support by saying.
My question to you is; what’s hidden in your closet? (before you judge, think!!) We all have something we don’t want let out of the bag. Yours is just different to mine and theirs 😉
There are organizations out there like AID My Journey-Support that are trying to be a sustaining force and empower individuals during this unplanned phase of their lives, don’t think it will not affect you, it will in the long run.
I hope those of you that are so benevolent and concerned enough will think about your fellow men/women that also need your enormously generous goodwill.
What are you going to do?
If anyone would like more information I have some projects that I wish to get up and running which will assist in people being able to have skills to generate an ongoing income for themselves and their families.
Project 1: Computer Skills Initiative
Project 2: Training Support Group Facilitator Course
Thank you for taking the time to read this. May you share the care!

Everyone can take heed here. Whether its you or someone you know, share the information please.
A person who is infected with HIV & AIDS and is not showing signs of illness does not need a specific “HIV-diet”. However, those infected with HIV should make every effort to adopt healthy and balanced nutrition patterns in order to meet their increased protein and energy requirements and maintain their nutritional status.
Once people with HIV & AIDS become ill they will have special needs, which are described below.
PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV & AIDS HAVE INCREASED NUTRIENT NEEDS
When infected with the HIV virus the body’s defence system – the immune system – works harder to fight infection. This increases energy and nutrient requirements. Further infection and fever also increase the body’s demand for food. Once people are infected with HIV they have to eat more to meet these extra energy and nutrient needs. Such needs will increase even further as the HIV & AIDS symptoms develop.
HIV & AIDS reduces food intake
People with HIV & AIDS often do not eat enough because:
- The illness and the medicines taken for it may reduce the appetite, modify the taste of food and prevent the body from absorbing it;
- Symptoms such as a sore mouth, nausea and vomiting make it difficult to eat;
- Tiredness, isolation and depression reduce the appetite and the willingness to make an effort to prepare food and eat regularly;
- There is not enough money to buy food.

Contact Cindy for more information on how you can possibly support this initiative.
The objective in founding AID My Journey–Support a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO 093-243 and BEE Level 4) is to play a major role in the transformation of how HIV and AIDS is managed, providing valuable structured programmes on HIV and AIDS and programmes used to enhance individuals, employers and employees:
“Educate and empower people by providing local life skills programmes that promotes positive values, healthy habits, and education – resulting in real life power.”
A priority need for the HIV and AIDS programme, which operates daily, is funding for the offices.
AID My Journey-Support is requesting assistance to support programmes, namely;
a) Computer Skills Initiative
b) Training: Support Group Facilitator – Quality Living
These programmes will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the beneficiaries.
An ongoing contribution will give AID My Journey-Support the resources to fulfil these requirements. I believe that the HIV and AIDS programme is consistent with the mission and interest of the target market vital to public needs, and hope that you will find it in your budget to support this program.
If I can provide additional information to encourage consideration of this request, please feel free to contact me.
I am also available as an IEC (Information-Education-Communication) Speaker on HIV and AIDS.
Please feel free to share this.
Regards
Cindy
