COMMUNITY DONATES TO HILLCREST AIDS CENTRE TRUST
(HACT)
 Since
May 2002, Natal University's Campus HIV/AIDS Support
Unit has appealed to students and staff for donations
of blankets and clothing urgently needed by the
Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT).
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre, based in KwaZulu-Natal's
Valley of a Thousand Hills, was founded over 10
years ago, and distributes these items to needy
families affected by HIV/AIDS and other homeless
citizens. The response was wonderful, and the
first hand-over took place in June 2002.
The appeal for donations is ongoing, and items
such as plastic and glass containers as well as
crockery are also being collected. The Centre
uses these in their home-based care activities,
for serving food, storing medication and other
purposes. Dudu Zondi, Community Outreach Co-ordinator
of the Campus HIV/AIDS Support Unit, conducted
a second hand-over in February 2003.
