[Margarite Sanchez]

Lovely email Shelly,
Happy (belated) World AIDS Day everyone!
Take the time to listen to this CBC program 'Out in the Open'

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/outintheopen/world-aids-day-30-years-on-hiv-no-longer-a-death-sentence-but-stigma-remains-1.4916417

Can't wait to hear more about the Friends for Life funding
opportunities.... intriguing ...
Love to all my sisters,
Margarite
