| Christmas Campaign, December -
Our Christmas awareness campaign on HIV/AIDS was rather eventful.
It attracted 15,000 people during the whole event. A significant
breakthrough is that a traditional medicine practitioner has been
involved in serious research to find a cure for HIV, but not AIDS,
since the Easter Campaign that Mgbala Agwa Youths Forum conducted.
Mgbala Agwa Youth Forum's Co-Ordinator, Nduka Ozor, has
requested for the analysis of his research and medicine. The doctor
shall be trialling the medication, and treat patients using this
treatment free of charge. "I shall be grateful to have a volunteer
analyst to test the effectiveness of the drug." says Mr. Ozor.

by Rev. Joe McMurry, from the Metropolitan Community Church in
San Fransisco, USA. As a positive sign, more than 50,000
people have been reached and educated on the dangers of HIV/AIDS.
