World AIDS Day
December 1, 2000In participation with A Day Without Weblogs,
Her Holiness has asked the Kemet.org webmaster to replace the
Daily Devotions usually found on this page with
an observance of World AIDS Day.
The devotions will return tomorrow, December the 2nd.
Today, the Nisut (AUS) asks that you remember those who have gone to the
West due to this disease, as well as take a few minutes to learn about the global
AIDS crisis. We can all make a difference if we start with ourselves.
The Nisut (AUS) has spoken in the past regarding AIDS. She mentions
Shambo Shankara
in Her September 28th devotion. Shambo was a resident at the River House,
a home to people living with AIDS that is
operated by the River Fund.
She also has devoted a
Wehem on the subject this year. In it, She discussed the bittersweet
future of South Africa and the growing number of children there
who are born with AIDS.
She supports the Statement
of Conscience, and has encouraged House of Netjer members to read it.
If you know someone who has died of AIDS, we encourage you to visit our
Virtual Abdju and leave a letter for them.
If you would like Her to pray for someone who is living with HIV, or
for anything else you may want Her to pray for, please see our
prayer page to email your prayer to Her.
Dozens of weblogs and journals representing a circle of compassion and
concern around the United States and around the world are participating in
A Day Without Weblogs.

"Learn something about AIDS, and then do something about it.
Join us to make a difference -- join any religious or cultural or social work
group of your choosing. There are children with AIDS all over the world dying
alone right now. Make a difference for them, for yourself, and for the future
of humanity."
