This Friday, December 1st is World AIDS Day. With over 40 million people in the world living with HIV/AIDS, what are the things you can do to combat this deadly disease and lessen its impact on the world’s economies, families, and children?

World Vision suggests these 12 Ways You Can Join the Fight Against AIDS:

* How much do you know about the AIDS crisis? Find out by taking this AIDS Test.

* Make your mark for children affected by AIDS. Ask the Bush Administration to allocate more money to help children affected by AIDS. Add your virtual signature to the online petition or use your mobile phone to send a text message to the White House.

* Build a Caregiver Kit. You’ll help assemble kits containing basic supplies that improve and prolong the lives of those living with AIDS while protecting caregivers from infection.

* Sponsor a child affected by AIDS and tell your friends, family, or church about child sponsorship using these free materials.

* Walk the steps of a child affected by AIDS through this virtual AIDS Experience.

For more suggestions on things you can do to curb the effects of this heinous disease, read on.

* Pray for children and families affected by AIDS. Join World Vision’s Hope Prayer Chain.

* Learn more about global AIDS by reading these FAQs.

* Give a gift to help feed children affected by AIDS.

* Join a World Vision AIDS Walk for Orphans. Several are planned, including events in Chicago, Monterey Bay, and Orange County.

* Join students at one of nearly 100 college campuses who are making a difference through Acting on AIDS.

* Host a Global Dinner: serve friends traditional foods from an
AIDS-affected country, then share the opportunity to sponsor a child from that country.

* Join World Vision president Rich Stearns and other influential leaders at the 2006 Global Summit on AIDS and the Church, hosted by Rick and Kay Warren this Thursday, November 30th, and Friday, December 1st.
