Menu HIV-SAM Project · Africans against HIV

Dear Friends of Muungano,

You are cordially invited you a fundraising dinner intended to contribute to enhance the well-being of group members. The HIV-SAM project is doing its best to empower PLHIV of African origins to re-enforce their resilience in order to confront the multiple challenges they  face as PLHIV with a migrant background.  One of the ways to do this is to help them raise some funds so that members can engage in small social, cultural and income generating projects!

Besides raising funds, another aim of the dinner is  raise awareness to the general public that people living with HIV are not victims of their infection, but thanks to effective treatment, normal persons who live normal lives.

The dinner will take place on Saturday 15 June 2019 at Cultureel ontmoetingscentrum Sint-Andries (coStA), Sint-Andriesplaats 24, 2000 Antwerpen beginning at 17h00. Please find other details about the dinner and how you can support the group if you cannot attend the dinner   in the invitation card in attachment.

Please circulate this invitation in your network and I encouraged you to bring along your partner, children and friends so that they can taste the Afro-Belgo delicatesses  and support people living with HIV.
