World Aids Day in York Region – More Supports Needed

December 3rd, 2009

The World Aids Day in York Region was organized by the Aids Committee of York Region. Radha Bhardwaj, Executive Director of the Aids Committee of York Region gave an opening address that was both inspiring and alarming.

She spoke eloquently about the dire circumstances and stigma faced by people living with HIV/Aids. The alarming part of her message was the lack of supports and resources in York Region for individuals and families coping with this disease.

There is much work to be done in York Region. We need to catch up to other municipalities that provide far more support to those experiencing the hardships brought about by HIV/Aids.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
