How to make your pledge

Sunday Times (Johannesburg) - September 25, 2005


YOU can help to turn the tide against HIV/Aids and TB by taking part in the Khomanani pledge campaign. The smallest action can make a big difference to someone's life - and to your own.

The campaign wants every South African to pledge to take action in the face of HIV and Aids. Make your pledge by October 9, which is Khomanani Day. Catch special broadcasts on SABC2 throughout the day.

You can pledge to talk to people around you about HIV/Aids or you can pledge to help those who are taking care of those affected by HIV. You can also pledge to get tested and take steps to practise safer sex.

***

Ways to pledge:

Phone 086 222 2709;

SMS the word Khomanani, followed by your pledge, to 34709; or

Register your pledge at www.aidsinfo.co.za;

Fax your pledge to 086 611 7425; or

Pick up your pledge form at any Pick 'n Pay store and drop it in the Khomanani box.
