<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Every year, Shanti participates in San Francisco’s annual AIDS Walk. We walk together as a team to demonstrate our commitment to this cause. </span><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">Since 1987, AIDS Walk San Francisco has raised more than $90 million for HIV programs and services in the Bay Area and has grown into the largest and most visible AIDS Fundraising event in Northern California</span></b><b><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none; color: #111111; font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; padding: 0in;">.</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In 2017, thousands of participants, many of whom were members of hundreds of corporate and community teams, raised more than $1.8 million for Project Open Hand, Positive Resource Center, Ward 86 at San Francisco General Hospital and HIV/AIDS programs and services throughout the Bay Area., including our very own HIV Services Program.<br /><br />This year, we are called to continue our show of support for this great cause by signing up as (actual or virtual) walkers for <a href="https://sf.aidswalk.net/Team/View/64854/Shanti-Project-1268" target="_blank">The Shanti Project Team! </a>! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Standing on the front lines of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is built into the foundation of this organization, and as long as the lives of our clients and community are still impacted by HIV/AIDS, our work is far from done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I invite you to join me in continuing that work by joining Team Shanti!<br /><br />At this critical time, your support is more important than ever.

For 44 years, Shanti peer support volunteers have been providing emotional and practical support to people living with life-threatening illness, as well as LGBT isolated seniors and adults with disabilities, much like you would support a friend or family member in need. If you would like to tangibly enhance the life of someone who needs it the most, we encourage you to contact us and learn more about this truly unique opportunity.</div>

For this program, we ask for a commitment of 2 to 6 hours a week for at least 6 months. We also organize support groups once a month, and ask all volunteers to attend.

The purpose of this training is to prepare volunteers to work with individuals who are isolated, or living with life-threatening illnesses and other disabilities. The training will supply information about challenges our clients face as well as teach communication and listening skills through a variety of interactive exercise. The training is pretty intensive, but our volunteers typically find it to be an enriching, community-building experience.</div>

You can make an invaluable difference to someone who needs it the most - and have your life changed in the process.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since 1974, Shanti's Peer Support Volunteers have been offering up their time to provide practical and emotional support to our clients living with life threatening illnesses. The Volunteers of the Peer Support Program spend time with clients who are living with breast cancer or HIV/AIDS and make it possible for them to continue to live independently. This may include doing chores, running errands, or providing companionship. It’s a mix of practical and emotional support.</span></div>

toys, treats, collars, leashes, carriers/crates, etc.)<b> every month.</b> This
