Komen for the Cure affiliated organizations.

Raquel Colon '03 went to Kampala, Uganda, as a volunteer for Safe Alternatives For Youth (SAFY). SAFY is a nonprofit organization that has created sustainable educational and recreational programs for the youth of Kitamanyangamba slum in Kampala. SAFY’s goals are to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and reproductive heath, and to prevent child trafficking by encouraging social responsibility and economic independence. Raquel introduced mural art into a recreational program to involve the students in community communication. "I strongly believe that art created by the youth will become a symbol of hope and inspiration for the entire community, and as a means for them to express abstract ideas and emotions. (For more information about Kitamanyangamba, its youth, and SAFY you can visit www.safyuganda.org.)"
