(Contest created by Lynn Hickernell)

December 1 is World AIDS Day. We here at Jarchives want to challenge you in the weeks prior to this event to become experts on HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa and the link this crisis has with clean water.

This month's contest consisted of a quiz of ten questions, the answers to which can all be found on the Blood:Water Mission website. By reading through the information on the website carefully and completely, you would not only be able to answer all these questions, Blood:Water Girlsbut on World AIDS Day you will be able to share with others what you have learned about the urgent need for clean blood and clean water for our African brothers and sisters. Congratulations to Jen Tyler on winning the contest!! Jen will receive a Blood:Water t-shirt like the ones shown here!
