Help Raise Awareness for HIV/AIDS
The HIV/AIDS epidemic isn’t just happening in far away places, it’s still here where we live and it’s still infecting the people that we love. In the United States of America, more than 1 million people are living with HIV and over 14,000 people with AIDS die each year. Did you know that California has the second highest HIV/AIDS incidence rate in the country? How about the fact that almost 12% of all people living with HIV/AIDS in California are women and that over two thirds of all HIV Californians are residing right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. There is not a cure for HIV/AIDS. Until There’s A Cure… help raise awareness, wear The Bracelet. Talk about it. And remember, HIV/AIDS is preventable. Silence, is deadly. Be a part of the solution.

The Hope for Our Youth HIV/AIDS National Awareness Campaign
In response to the always increasing new cases of HIV/AIDS, WOW! Productions /J4L Foundation has founded the Hope for Our Youth (HFOY), HIV/AIDS National Awareness Campaign. The Hope for Our Youth, HIV/AIDS National Awareness Campaign launched statewide in Northern California in August, 2005 and became national in January of 2006. They believe that this campaign is a great opportunity for people to get involved in promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in their communities. With your support this campaign will bring awareness to the importance of being tested for HIV/AIDS. In the U.S., complacency had set in regarding HIV/AIDS. Many people believe that because medical technology has progressed to a point where infected people can live longer, HIV/AIDS should no longer be a priority; this is contradicted by the latest statistics supplied by the Centers for Disease. WOW! and HFOY want their audience to escape fear and be aware of the cause/effects of not being tested for HIV/AIDS. They believe that all should get Tested, get their results and live their lives! With your support they will be able to bring awareness to this pandemic HIV/AIDS. If you are interested in making a monetary donation to the Hope for Our Youth™ HIV/AIDS National Awareness Campaign please contact , WOW! Productions, Inc./J4L. Foundation, Inc™ today.

Ways to Monitor Your Child's Growth: Help Detect Developmental Probelms Earlier
It’s time to change how we view a child’s growth. It’s natural to measure your child’s height and weight. But you should measure other ways your child is growing, too. From birth to 5 years, there are milestones your child should reach in terms of how he/she plays, learns, speaks, and acts. A delay in any of these areas could be a sign of a developmental problem, even autism. The good news is, the earlier it’s recognized the more you can do to help your child reach her full potential. Talk with a doctor or nurse about your child’s total development. You can also click here to visit their website or call 1-800-CDC-INFO. This message is from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Learn the Signs. Act Early.
