You might remember last week I mentioned speaking with someone from AVERT regarding Aywas' HIV/AIDS fundraiser. I am very excited to now be able to share the details of that conversation with you!
After the fundraiser began, AVERT noticed an uptick in support and their Fundraising Officer, Anisa Ahmed, discovered our event and reached out to me directly with a personal thank you. I wanted to pass along part of this email because YOU made this fundraiser a success, and I think it's important you know what a difference your help truly made for one organization, let alone countless others.
Hi Eri,
I've just come across your Cracked Teacup Fundraiser to support HIV and AIDS on Aywas.com. It's really wonderful that you are raising money this way, we've had over $150 in donations over the past week which are all down to your fundraiser, which is an absolutely amazing amount, thank you so much!
The donations that you have raised will help us to run our website, providing information about many aspects of HIV and AIDS to a worldwide audience, help our partner projects in sub-Saharan Africa to provide community based support to those living with HIV and to implement initiatives to prevent new infections, and will ensure that our information and advice service can continue to respond to personal enquiries from people worried about HIV all around the world.
It's great that you've listed AVERT.org as an information resource, I hope that you have found our information useful and that others do too after seeing your link.
We were also given an official certificate of donation, which you can see in full by clicking here!
If you are interested in helping AVERT in the future or want to get involved in their projects, they currently have a campaign going on for David Odali and the Umunthu Foundation here that I encourage you to check out. They are trying to crowdfund for a CD4 count machine to bring HIV treatment to 20,000 people. There are also a lot of great informative resources on the page if you're just looking to read up!
With all of the fundraisers Aywas has done, I think this is the first time I've been personally contacted about our impact from an organization like this, and I hope you are as proud of our community as I am.
Thank you again!

Aywas should have a page dedicated to past and current fundraisers done, that way members can look back at the impact we've had, and see the success as well

I agree! It would be fun to see all the fundraisers that were done before I joined.
It is so great for Aywas to be recognized for something it has done. Congrats Aywas and all those that donated, have donated in the past, and will donate in the future.
