Welcome to the site where we celebrate ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help their communities deal with the HIV and AIDS epidemic.
These people are truly AIDSbuzz Champions - they have made AIDS their business by dedicating their time and talents to helping those worst hit by the disease. We chose the word champion carefully. It means a conqueror, a hero, a victor and a winner. It also describes a person who fights for a cause or another person. Both of these descriptions fit the people we have chosen to honour perfectly.
Some of our Champions are infected with HIV but have not allowed their disease to defeat them. Instead they have decided to speak openly about their status and try to prevent others from becoming infected like themselves. Our other Champions are fighting tirelessly to uplift and better the lives of those who have been affected by the epidemic.
There are thousands of unsung Champions around South Africa, all
quietly making an incredible difference to hundreds of thousands of
people’s lives. Please let AIDSbuzz know about these Champions so that
they can be featured on this site, thereby inspiring us all to join in
the fight against HIV and AIDS. |
