dare to bare

Did my first pro-bono advocacy photo shoot last December 2009 for the HIV/AIDS awareness month.

When I was invited by Ana Santos to join this project, I immediately said yes without any hesitation; wanting to support my HIV-positive friend Wanggo and spread the much needed awareness about the virus.

It was an eye-opening experience talking to the advocates and learning about their own personal HIV-related stories. Most have friends who have died or are affected by the virus, some are going through life with the virus.

Let's spread the word, not the virus. Let's all play safe --- No glove, no love.

4 Sundays, 17 advocates, 1 cause.
