Recognize that our families are very connected to each other and we are all working to help the children enjoy life in general to the greatest extent possible. Realize that HIV/AIDS is incurable at this time and we never can claim that everything will be okay, even though we all hope for a "cure" or "miracle". We all honor the racial, ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic diversity of all of our families. It doesn't matter who they are or what they have done. we are concerned about the welfare of the children. We share with the parents their concerns, hopes and prayers for their children. We will try to accommodate the families on the time frame that is most congenial to the majority of the families. We will try to be a support to the children and their families. Training is of the utmost importance so as we can bring services to the families. If there is a need in which we can be of assistance we will let it be known to officers of the board so we can work on it expediently. Understanding and incorporating the needs of the children are certainly our top priority. If you don't know of services, inquire on the child's behalf, or call the office or a board member. Be involved in decision making processes of the board. Volunteers are always encouraged to attend all meetings. Your ideas are very helpful for us to be a success. Encourage others in the community to learn about your involvement with our organization. We will even talk to a group of your friends. The more volunteers we have the lighter the load and the more services we can give these special children. |
