I met Brett and Shelly Faucett when they were mission co-workers living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, during my own church's mission to that country in 2008. At the time, they were HIV/AIDS regional consultants. Brett is a nurse and amateur photographer. Shelly, a former literacy specialist and ESL teacher. They had their two daughters, Acacia and Annapurna, with them. You can follow the Faucett family though their "Committed to the Calling" blog.
"There is no them, only us"
I just recently finished facilitating a "Channels of Hope" HIV/AIDS 2 day workshop and I am always amazed at the transformation of the participants and of myself during these workshops. We really delve into the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS and we challenge people with activities to think outside of themselves. Our biggest challenge is moving away from an attitude of "us and them" and realizing it is about "us."
