Bonny, I totally agree with you that all help that we can give should be extended to HIV and AIDS sufferers in Goa irrespective of background.
A society is only as strong as it's weakest links and our HIV/AIDS affected brethren and our brethren who are physically and mentally challenged should hold a special place in our hearts. I hope that the next year for Goa Sudharop will be the year of the AIDS affected and the year after that the year of the physically and mentally challenged. They will have my full support. Roland.
