Happy Memorial Day!

HEY!

We hope all of you are enjoying your day off!!
Of course, we know it's supposed to be a day OFF but we would like to remind you of our active programs that you can participate in TODAY to help us relieve the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Kenya!

Medical Supplies & Equipment Relief Program (MS+ER):
Beginning with Kenya, the core objective of MS+ER is to respond quickly, efficiently and cost effectively to health needs in Sub-Sahara Africa. We work to meet critical health needs of impoverished communities through mobilizing and leveraging resources from governments, communities, hospitals and individuals with the aim of enhancing sustainable and cost-effective approaches to saving lives.

Community Health Outreach Program
This program aims to provide education and evidence-based HIV infection prevention services to communities most impacted with HIV/AIDS with the help of the Kenyan Government.

And of course...GOAT HOPE

Once again, have a great Memorial Day :)

Hello MRA Supporter!

This coming Sunday (May 16th, 2010), MRA welcomes you to join us in the AIDS Walk NY Campaign taking place in Central Park. AIDS Walk NY Campaign is geared toward fighting, embracing new allies, remembering loved ones lost, and working to realize a future without AIDS. Besides raising awareness and increasing solidarity with the millions affected with HIV/AIDS, the event also raises money to support people infected with HIV/AIDS in NYC and the tri-state area.

Last year alone, 45,000 people participated to raise over $5.6 million! This year, MRA intends to take part in this benevolent campaign in unity AIDS Walk NY while also sounding the trumpet on behalf of our beneficiaries in Sub Sahara Africa, including Kenya. So come out and walk with us and let us increase the awareness that AIDS still claims millions of lives and together we can do something! After all, IT WILL BE AN AWESOME TIME! Various entertainers including Jai Rodriguez, Hal Sparks, and Leon & the Peoples will be there to make this meaningful event even more memorable!

For those of you who can't make it to the event but still would like to be a part of the worthy cause, MAKE A ‘LOUD’ STATEMENT on MRA’s FaceBook profile (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Medical-Relief-Alliance/128434261040) and encourage your network to either participate or make a statement as well!
