We kindly ask you for some advice

The POSITIVE ACTION Society in Lesotho, a small Mountain Kingdom in 
Southern Africa, is experiencing a dramatic increase in HIV/AIDS in-
fection rates. Latest published figures show that over 42% of preg-
nant women in the capital Maseru are testing HIV positive and 65% of 
patients seeking treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections are 
also testing HIV positive.

We at the POSITIVE ACTION Society are a group of infected and af-
fected people trying to make a positive impact in regards of behav-
ioural change and improving the living conditions for PLWHAs (People 
Living With HIV/AIDS). Within the last three years we have imple-
mented various activities to achieve our goals with mixed successes. 
More and more PLWHAs want to join our group, which provides a condu-
cive environment for infected and affected people, to assist us in 
our fight against the pandemic. Unfortunately whatever we do is not 
enough to significantly improve the debilitating impact the HI Virus 
causes to the lives of our people.

Please have a look at our web site http://www.positive-action.org and 
try to provide us with some ideas, advice, proven strategies etc. 
which can enable us to achieve a greater impact.

Hoping that you will find some time to assist us with advice, prayers 
or other support.

Yours faithfully,
The Team of the POSITIVE ACTION Society in Lesotho
