Dear Mr. Hron,

I am 10 years old and I am living with HIV. My mom never got the chance to be part of your organisation, but I’m sure she would have benefited from it.

With this letter, I would like to thank you for what you have been doing about HIV and AIDS in Jamaica. I hope that you will continue to support our community of people living with HIV and continue to help to educate people about HIV. It is through your work that we will be able to stop discrimination of people living with HIV.

There is one concern I have though and that is that you have no support group for children infected and affected by HIV. While you have these groups for the adults, you seem to have forgot us. Why is this so?

Also, I am suggesting that you have fun days where children that are positive can play with each other. You could also make the fun day a public thing where people would pay to come in. This would help in making some money to buy medication for us.

Thank you again for your great work and may God bless you all.

Yours sincerely,

Errol White
