Week 4: Safe Sex


I am volunteering for a AIDS charity called Vital Bridges which helps people who have AIDS with all sorts of life issues. On Wednesdays I work at the south side food pantry, on Thursdays I work at the administration building, and on Fridays I work on the West side food pantry. The work itself is not very interesting. Basically, people come in, decide what they want off the menu, and then I go around and get it for them. But the environment is interesting. On the first day I came face to face with the realization that people have AIDS, and you can't tell by the way they look. These are average people off the street who happen to be HIV+ just coming in for groceries.
The south side is the best place to work because everyone is black and full of energy. It makes for a very lively atmosphere. We were punching stuff into a computer when we noticed this poster hanging on the wall. I think it's hilarious, and SOOOO PUNNYY!!
