The PAL Project is 99% volunteer energy!! The volunteer's heartfelt interest in helping is what brings them to the project, and the training is what transforms them into our typical expert and empathetic PAL. The problem is that the need for com mitted volunteers only grows greater. More and more people are being affect ed by AIDS daily. Resources are still too scarce and the needs are not always be ing met. The solution is quite straightforward!! By the donation of time from a lot of people, the resource imbalance can level off. The PAL Project volunteer hours have made a crucial difference in the lives of those af fected by the ravages of HIV infection. It is going to take a lot of people to continue this work, and the March training is pre paring to train about 40 new workers. LOBBY DAY. Acting on ACLU's request. Rep.
