From the comments to my last post:
A small donation to the GUAHAN Project (http://www.guahanproject.org/index.php
I checked out the GUAHAN Project website, and I invite you to do the same.
The GUAHAN Project is Guam’s only AIDS service organization and was established in 2003 by Guam AIDS activists. It is the home for the Guam AIDS Memorial Quilt and the Pacific Resource and Training Center. The GUAHAN Project provides free and confidential OraSure HIV counseling, testing and referral services and testing for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
In addition, the GUAHAN Project addresses other health issues such as tuberculosis, smoking cessation, cancer, diabetes, obesity and hemophilia. It also is known for ground-breaking and pioneering work in advocating for the end of violence against women and girls in the community. This is done through community outreach and events and through the mobilization of the community in culturally sensitive empowerment opportunities for women and girls.
The GUAHAN Project provides free educational workshops and training sessions for the community. It also provides support groups, home and hospital visits and personal care items to people living with HIV/AIDS on Guam and the neighboring islands. The GUAHAN Project also offers capacity-building asistance to local and regional community-based organizations. It also features a strong community volunteer foundation.
All materials and resources are free, including internet access. The GUAHAN Project also develops education materials in Asian and Pacific Islander languages relevant to the region. In addition, the GUAHAN Project provides free and conidential HIV testing and screening as well as urine based testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
International, U.S. Federal and local funding sources support the GUAHAN Project’s operations. The GUAHAN Project also successfully collaborates with the Guam Public Health Department, the University of Guam and various community-based organizations and corporate partners in the fight against AIDS.
