HIV AND A.I.D.S AWARENESS

THE DEAN'S ACADEMY WAS FOUNDED IN DEDICATION TO MY BELOVED SISTER MISS BARBARA ANN DEAN WHO PASSED AWAY BACK IN JANUARY 1996 FROM COMPLICATIONS DUE TO THE AIDS VIRUS. MY SISTER WAS THE MOST PROFOUND AND IMPORTANT INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE. THE THINGS SHE DID FOR ME AND THE THINGS SHE TAUGHT ME WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. IN HER MEMORY WE HERE AT THE DEAN'S ACADEMY DO HIV AND AIDS AWARENESS FOR OUR YOUTH. THIS YEAR WE HAD MISS DAMARIES CRUZ, THE COORDINATOR OF THE P.O.W.E.R. PROJECT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, COME IN AND OPEN THE YOUNG MENS EYES WHERE IT CAME TO TRANSMISSION OF THE DISEASE, AND WAYS TO PREVENT FROM GETTING INFECTED. SOME OF THE YOUTH IN THE SESSION ACTUALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS A CURE FOR AIDS...THERE ISN'T YET, BUT GOD WILLING THERE WILL BE ONE SOON. HIV INFECTIONS AMONG TEENS IN BROWARD COUNTY IS NUMBER ONE IN THE COUNTRY!!!!
