Project HOPEFUL is changing the world

It behooves us to live!
Todd Family Motto

In an effort to take our family motto seriously, I believe it’s time to start highlighting some organizations who are living out this motto. They are giving life as they live their lives to the fullest. So I’m designating Wednesday s as Change the World Wednesday. Or maybe World Changing Wednesday. I don’t know if it’s actually going to have an official title or not, but you get the idea. While I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to do it every Wednesday, I do hope to highlight people and organizations who are trying to help change the world for the better.

Project Hopeful

Project HOPEFUL exists to Help Orphans and Parents Eliminate Further Unnecessary Loss. They educate and adovcate on behalf of children living with HIV/AIDS and other severe special needs around the world. In their words, “We are committed to spreading the TRUTH in PANDEMIC proportions, because NO child should perish for…lack of knowledge.”

I highly recommend you check them out. They have some important stuff to say.

Levels of knowledge about the HIV virus have not increased in the US since 1987.

1987.

Wow. That’s just….wow.

In a post-Ryan White world where Magic Johnson’s “death sentence” didn’t turn out the way everyone thought it would, I’m rather surprised about how ignorant we are about HIV. And this is especially sad when we can find out where some superstar ate dinner last night by merely clicking a link or two.

I’m thankful for Project HOPEFUL and their efforts to spread the truth about HIV/AIDS. It sounds like they have a lot of work ahead of them.
