27 July 2006 When I started school last fall, I also started an internship at the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland - that internship changed the course of my life. I wouldn't be here, in Uganda, if it wasn't for the strength and encouragement of all the people that influenced and inspired me at the AIDS Taskforce (ATGC).

Recently, ATGC became the home of a wonderful program, Camp Sunrise, which holds an overnight week-long camp each summer for Ohio children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS. This summer, the camp will be held mid August, but they need some supplies to make it happen.

Here is a list of what Camp Sunrise needs:

Small plastic bins for cabin art supplies – 10 total

Bottled water for Club med – 5 cases

Board games for the cabins – as many as we can get (jenga, catch phrase, monopoly, uno, etc.) – these are helpful when it rains.

Supplies for free time activities – friendship bracelet floss, lanyard, beads, stationary)

Supplies for cookie decorating – for 25 kids

Supplies for scrapbooking – for 25 kids

Bug Repellant – 8 bottles

Sunscreen SPF 30 + - 10 bottles

Tylenol – 1 bottle of 100

Advil – 1 bottle of 100

Ice Packs – 4 total

Dixie cups – 500

Kleenex – 4 boxes

Kotex maxi pads – 2 large packages

Tampons – 2 large boxes

Pull ups – 2 large bags (one for boys and one for girls)

Socks – boys and girls

Boys’ bathing suits – 2 small (ages 6-8)

Girls’ bathing suits – small sizes

5 gallon buckets for drumming program – 15
