AAA Transition



African AIDS Angels will be going through a period of transition with the departure of Carol Sherwood. We are trying a new approach, with responsibilities divided among various volunteers, so that not too much is falling on one person’s shoulders. We ask for your patience during the transition period. The following people are undertaking various tasks:
  • Marcia Thompson will be the overall and volunteer co-ordinator. She can be reached at marciathompson@shaw.ca but will be away until Feb. 3. She will be assisted in this by Laura How at laurahow@uvic.ca, tel. 778-440-1460.
