I want to introduce you to an organization doing a lot of good called the MTV Staying Alive Foundation”.
Their Mission Statement:
As a global grant-making organization, the Foundation’s mission is to encourage, energize, and empower young people who are involved in HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns.
The Foundation does this by presenting the Staying Alive Awards to young individuals and youth groups who are focused on stopping the spread of HIV and who have demonstrated the potential to become future leaders. The award comes with a financial grant to assist them in continuing and expanding their work, and provides public recognition to inspire others to get involved.
What they are doing… is exactly what needs to happen Education. If we are ever going to truly fight this disease… people have to understand what the consequences of irresponsible actions.

About Woody Bass
Woody Bass is a freelance blogger who writes about politics, current events and generally anything he finds ignorant, stupid or totally out of line. There is nothing he wont say or write about so long as it is the truth and what he truly believes - with a few smartass remarks thrown in for good measure. Smart ass is what Woody does best. Don’t go looking for any extreme “right” or “leftist” thinking though. Woody is able to step back, look at the “big picture” and provide a moderate/centrist observation on the matter.
Woody was formerly a blogger for the Atlanta Journal Constitution - Gwinnett News for 3 years. http://www.ajc.com/yournorcross
Woody was born in Orlando, Florida and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1986. He is a ‘rabid Gator fan’ and loves nothing more than to annoy as many fans of “that team from Athens, Ga” as possible.
