HUMAN RELIEF FOR AIDS: The Washington AIDS International Foundation is hosting an event, Hope for the Nations, to provide vital information and medical support to international representatives in Washington, D.C. Human Relief Organization founder Olga Crupper will introduce Project Hope, an educational program that helps impoverished children, and she will present Ambassador Pascal Bodjona with medical supplies for the nation of Togo.

“Hope for the Nations” includes a multimedia presentation on the impact of HIV/AIDS on the population, economy and development of the global community. The event is Saturday, Sept. 28, 2002 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 3224 16th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. and includes lunch; a voluntary donation is requested to cover costs.

To raise funds for Project Hope and WAIF, a classic 1972 Mercedes Benz sedan is being offered for auction. This meticulously preserved automobile has an interesting history, and the proceeds of the auction will be used to fund the humanitarian work of HRO and WAIF.
