By Jane Coaston

On the NPR Shots blog, reporter Ben de la Cruz highlights the work of photographer David Binder. Binder has been photographing the AIDS epidemic for over 25 years.

His documentary about one woman’s struggle with AIDS and the effects on her family, Calling My Childrenwas screened Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol

It tells the story of Gail Farrow, a mother of four living with HIV in the late 80s. Like Elizabeth Glaser, she contracted HIV through a blood transfusion, and forced America to confront the reality that AIDS was a problem that affects us all.

EGPAF’s Social Media at AIDS 2012

By Jane Coaston

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is thrilled to participate in this year’s International AIDS Conference (IAC) in Washington, D.C. The Foundation’s mission involves passionate and committed people around the world – and social media gives us the perfect platform to stay connected with all of them. For the IAC, you can check out all of our social media platforms to get our take on the biggest news from every day of the conference.

The Foundation’s presence on Facebook grows constantly; we add new posts, pictures, videos, links, and updates about our work in the field and our research and advocacy efforts. During IAC, we’ll be sharing quotes, pictures, videos and stories from every part of the conference.

The Foundation uses Twitter to provide instant updates about our mission to eliminate pediatric AIDS around the world. Follow us to see updates from our conference sessions and activities from all over IAC. You can also follow Chip Lyons, the Foundation’s President and CEO. We’ve made it easy with some handy buttons:

We have beautiful photography featuring the people we serve in the countries where we work – and we’re sharing it all on Instagram. Our photos feature mothers, children, and families receiving care in health clinics both urban and remote – and the dedicated nurses and health care workers who are saving lives on the frontlines of HIV/AIDS. Follow us at “EGPAF” and hashtag photos that you would like us to see and use with #EGPAF.
