Red


World AIDS day is about generating hope about the fight against AIDS. However, all that I'm hearing today is bad news and scary predictions about the search for a cure. Africa we all know is struggling but so is South Asia and very surprisingly, some parts of America. This is a truly global war that more and more people are teaming up to fight, but not soon enough.

Now, Bono and Bobby Shriver have come up with Red. It is a new idea and a truly good one at that. The best part is that every one of us can now be a part of the global fight against AIDS. The Independent (a newspaper in the United Kingdom), Motorola, myspace and youtube are part of Red, with more corporations slated to join in.

This post is me playing my small role in this war by drawing your attention to the Red campaign. I strongly urge you to check out their website.
