Stephen Lewis


Stephen Lewis will be speaking at the University on Thursday, March 15 at 7:00. I would encourage everyone who possibly can to attend. I listened to Mr. Lewis in my first year and what he has to say will really open your eyes. Not only is he a wonderful speaker, but he is a true humanitarian. The Stephen Lewis foundation is involved in "easing the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa." They are currently helping women with HIV/AIDS by providing food, bedding, medicine and more. They are also helping orphans by by helping them pay for school, get nutritious food, etc. The foundation also assists grandmothers who in many cases raise up to 15 children in one household. The crisis of HIV/AIDS in Africa is something we need to address. If you are interested in learning more visit this website: http://www.stephenlewisfoundation.org/index.cfm
or listen to Mr. Lewis speak in the Ed Auditorium on Thursday.

Sometimes I get SO mad at technology because I just wrote a comment to this post of yours and when I clicked publish it didn't work and it disappeared.
So here goes again..
I will definitely try to get to this presentation as I am a big supporter of Stephen Lewis and his missions. I have a sponsor child so I am often receiving information about the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa.
Everyone should attend this session and act on what they learn!
