HIV/AIDS - You can help
This epidemic continues to threaten our children... something must be done.

Molly
believes that there is a message that needs to be heard; to clear the misconceptions surrounding HIV/AIDS, here and around the world. Young people are getting mixed messages while the epidemic continues. Molly believes people like Stephen Lewis, Warchild, Teresa Group and many others, deserve to be supported. Please show your support now.

Molly et la Belle Province!
Molly just returned from a quick but joyful tour of Quebec this January. She was overwhelmed by the beauty of land and the warmth of the people. Montreal is grand -but Joliette, Laval, Longueuil, St. Jean sur Richelieu and Sherbrooke were really something special. Molly would like to thank everyone who came out and made her visit such a great experience. Much like what she has found to be true in France- music really is the language that speaks to every heart. Molly hopes to return again soon.
