This area of the site is set up like a book, with a table of contents and sequential "pages". It is organized chronologically into 3 sections: The Early Years (1974-1980), A Focus on HIV (1981-1996), and An Expanding Mission (1997-Present). These three sections are each grouped by contributor (volunteer, client, or friend and family).

If desired by the contributor, each page contains a link to allow you to send a message to him or her—either to reconnect with an old friend or simply to express your feelings about the story. These links will not give you access to the contributor's personal email address and whether the contributor responds to your message or not is entirely under the control of the contributor.

Privacy notice: Out of respect for the privacy of Shanti clients, both past and present, the names of all clients referred to in stories have been changed.
