Our work does not begin in the laboratory or even in the scientist's mind, but with the
needs of women and men everywhere who are struggling for a better life for themselves
and their families. Over the last 10 years, HEROES has worked hard to increase and
maximize the quality of life for persons living with HIV/AIDS and at risk individuals.
Consequently, we have done numerous activities and programs over the years to bring
attention to the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS that would otherwise go unaddressed.
Over the years HEROES has strived to bring attention to HIV/AIDS by providing programs
surrounded by love, elimination of boundaries and healthy living skills to increase the
likelihood that people will have successful lives. Unfortunately, many people continue to
think that HIV education is not for them. In reality, HIV education is beneficial for all.
Our quest has led to the implementation of youth, agricultural, job creation, adult
education, literacy, and outreach programs that lead to HIV prevention.
Undoubtedly HEROES would not have been successful without the sincere and generous
contributions from others. We believe that together everyone achieves more; therefore,
we capitalize on every opportunity to work with others with like goals and we specialize
in building networks that revitalize and reframe communities.
In the midst of insufficient budgets, politics, and propaganda, it would be just as easy to
turn and walk away. However, we are determined to do our part in making the world a
better place and to reminding those who are most vulnerable that someone cares by
giving them the skills and support they need to reach their maximum potential and be a
positive, contributing member of society.
