Dinner and Silent Auction to Benefit Global HIV Project
Date: Friday September 21, 2007
Location: St. Philomena's Msgr Daly Center, Livingston NJ
Time: 6:00-9pm
Attire: Business Casual
Cost: Adult - $40 , Under 25 - $25 , Under 12 - $10
Come be a part of a special evening dedicated to raising funds for a worthwhile cause. Friday September 21st the Monsignor Daly Parish Center will host a night of good food and great company. Throughout the night a silent auction will run featuring items that all can enjoy. Will you try for dinner for two at Birichino, home to Gourmet Magazine’s “salami king of New York” Marc Buzzio, or is a luxury suite to a Newark Bears game more your style? Regardless if you bid or not, I invite you to participate in a project geared to raising consciousness to the reality of global HIV/AIDS.
The entrance donation is tax deductible if made in form of check to the Emily C. Specchio Foundation. This fundraiser will play a fundamental role in establishing how many cities will be incorporated in the project. Your generosity is much appreciated and I look forward to welcome everyone in person on Friday, September 21st.

Hello and Welcome
GREETINGS!
My name is Marco Ambrosio and I am a recent graduate from Fairfield University. I have spent the last four months planning a HIV project that will illustrate the differing realities of experiencing HIV/AIDS around the world. I will be volunteering at non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations for 2 - 3 weeks at different cities and conducting interviews of program managers and people living with HIV who utilize the organization. These interviews will be guided by uniform questions that address access to treatment, funding, discrimination, and other valuable information. The more people understand about the AIDS pandemic, the more people will see the injustice that abounds and the urgency of the situation in the developing world. The interviews will be the heart of the book that will come out of the project.
This Blog will be used as a journal to document what I see, learn, and witness while traveling. It will be a way for friends, family, and others to track where I am and learn about the culture and the status of HIV/AIDS in the cities I visit. I invite all to post comments and be a part of the journey.
Best regards,
Marco
PS. I begin travel in early November so make sure you revisit!
