2. What social issue is the most important to you and why?
Children and Youth Outreach / AIDS and HIV Awareness because the kids don't get it. It's really like they go hand in hand. They think they are immune to getting this disease, but it's not just HIV, it's everything else they have to deal with in todays society being a young adult.
