International Awareness and Involvement

New Paragraph

INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS AND INVOLVEMENT

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. holds the issues of the international community close to her heart. Chapters across the world simultaneously recognize and act upon the major concerns that plague countries around the globe such as the water crisis in Africa. The Madison County (MS) Alumnae Chapter hosts workshops to enlighten the public on what can be done to assist others around the planet. Our chapter has executed programs for the International Day of Service and World AIDS Day, and we provide outreach to the international community. Our programs have donated much needed supplies, clothing, and shoes that are provided to citizens beyond our US borders.

World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day is commemorated each year on December 1. Our chapter coordinates a program with community partners, such as Holmes Community College, focused on advocacy and awareness of HIV, AIDS, and resources for those impacted by the disease. Workshops, Facebook Live panel discussions, free testing, and supporting for advocacy campaigns like the “Hands Up” Prevention initiative are a few examples of our chapter’s activities. Guest speakers, including health care professionals, community leaders, resource providers, and persons living with HIV, provide valuable information and statistics regarding HIV/AIDS and the impact of these diseases within our communities, particularly among young African Americans.

School Supplies

The chapter continues to look for ways to support Madison County Schools. To support the ongoing needs of the large immigrant population in Madison County, the IAI committee collected school supplies, school uniforms, and socks for students in need.
