I've begun reading The aWAKE Project.

The aWAKE Project: Uniting against the Global AIDS Crisis is the first book of its kind to target a general audience: AIDS: Working toward Awareness, Knowledge, and Engagement. We want the citizens of the world to wake up to this devastating disease that is killing our brothers and sisters across the nations. Upon awareness, we mourn the loss of these fellow human beings in a global wake, or funeral, for life itself. And, finally, we hope a wake of emotional and intellectual response follows worldwide by spreading knowledge for the sake of action.
In this book musicians, politicians, actors, athletes, writers, speakers, activist, experts, religious, and non-religious unite with one voice to speak to their realization, understanding, and experience of the pandemic in their own lives. It is our hope that you will hear the voices of those you know and respect as they speak wisdom from their corner of the world.
