ON SEPT. 21st, 2008, I will be participating in Ça Marche - an annual AIDS walk organized by the Farha Foundation. The Head & Hands team will be walking to raise money for the Sense Project: an innovative sex education project that emerged after the Quebec government essentially phased out sexual health from the curriculum in 2005.

Ever the enthusiastic gang of activists, Head & Hands doesn't just WALK for sex ed, we DANCE! We'll be dancercizing all the way around downtown Montreal to raise awareness about how HIV/AIDS affects our community, and raise money for education programs like the Sense Project that help prevent the spread. (In keeping with the dance theme, we will also be raising the roof.)

JOIN OUR TEAM! Help us fill the streets of Montreal and send a message that the fight against AIDS is not over! This is a great opportunity to connect with other people and organizations who recognize that HIV/AIDS still exists, and still affects people from all sectors of society - not only globally, but right here at home.

Then you can invite friends & family to sponsor you online.

Even if you do not live in Montreal (or if your jazz hands are too tired), you can still support us by making a donation online... We need to raise $7,000 to get the Sense Project into more French schools, translate our sexual health resources, and train more peer educators! Every donation is an
expression of your commitment to youth-friendly, non-judgmental, comprehensive sex education in Montreal classrooms. You can give $5, $10, $20, or $50 - every contribution counts!!
