So Grateful!

The Project Red Ribbon (TRR) in partnership with BoyCircuit attended the Blue Ball Party last February 28 at the Metrowalk Tent in Ortigas Center. Part of the proceeds of the event will be given to TRR for all it's projects, The Love Fund and commitment to the PLHIV community.
Aside from the endowment, BoyCircuit was allowed TRR to put up donation boxes in the event place. TRR Care Managers and volunteers also distributed 10 boxes of condoms in the venue.

 Thank you BoyCircuit for trusting and partnering with us and we assure you of our group's transparency.

Email 504: TRR Support Group

Hi pozzie. 

 I'm jayson 23 and was just diagnosed with HIV yesterday, would just like to ask how can I connect to your support groups because I am clueless of my situation at the moment, and I feel I need as much people as possible who understand me. I was literally crying when I read your journal, I hope I'll be as empowered as you are and in return be a source of encouragement as well to others. Please continue your good work. Thank you and hoping for your reply. :)
