From Kenya:

Hello,
I am a girl from Hillcrest Secondary School in Nairobi, Kenya where you 
spoke today. I would firstly like to say thank you, you were not only an 
inspiration, but I really admire that you are giving up two years of your 
life going around the world talking to people. Your approach to the topic 
was wonderful, never before have I heard anyone talk on the subject as 
effectively. It must have been especially hard as you were speaking to a 
young audience.
I, too, am planning to go to the USA for university (Stanford) and 
thereafter pursue a career in helping others -some sort of charity or 
otherwise- I'm not sure exactly what though!
Seeing as I have some holidays coming soon, I was wondering if you could 
give me the addresses or contact details of some co-workers in Kenya so I 
could started straight away. I have worked with charity organisations in 
Nairobi before as a volunteer, but sadly, I'm often put of by how comercial 
and busness-like the atmosphere in Nairobi is. I found that often, out of a 
donated $10, only $2 or $3 would reach the people it is intended to reach! 
So I have resorted to offer only voluntary services over the weekends!
So, if it isn't too much to ask, could you please tell me how I could 
contact Dr. Lyn who you met in Durban (I "think" it was called 
the "United States AIDS awareness org.), who was with you during your talk.
Thank you very much,
Nivedita Mukherjee, (Nairobi, Kenya)

From Cambodia:

"Hi Dr. John
How awesome to hear from you. We miss you. We appreciate for your hard work to save people around the world. Where are you now? still in Africa?

Sincerely
Chhavelith, HIV Volunteer Coordinator"

From United States: 

"Dear Dr. Chittick,  Hi my name is Adda, and I am a 14 year old girl living in Santa Barbara, California. I read your story in Seventeen, then visited your website and was amazed about everything you have done to prevent the spread of the AIDS epidemic among youth, and basically was wondering if there is any way I could get invovled. I am starting high school this september and know that no such AIDS prevention program that exists at the high school level, or that students can get involved in. Best wishes on your journey and if there is anything else I could do to help please let me know. You are trully saving lives, I just hope you know that, thank you. Sincerely, Adda"

From Indonesia:

Dear John,

Hope you're already back to the "e-mail world"! How's the situation in
China's hinterland? Anyway, I'm sure you got so many new perspectives and
ideas to share with friends all over the world. I'm waiting for your review
on China.  We're here so pleased to get your mails, copies of articles, and photos... India, Africa, Vietnam. You ARE really tough and patient!

We are doing fine here .. Yes, you will be glad to hear this progress. We already have three drop-in centers now and there are peer-educators and out-reach workers approach street kids, homeless teenagers, and kids prostitutes who have problems with drugs aswell. Very demanding jobs! But we like the challenges...  So please take care of yourself now. God bless you. And we're looking forward to hearing from you soon!

From Cuba:

"Dear John,  I am sure you remember the day when you have been to the University of Havana. You talked to everybody about the most helpful methods to fight against AIDS, the illnes that takes away a part of my live every day.  I was one of these people who was listening to you talking about this illness. The love and truth that is speaking out of every word makes me feel that you are still belevening in salvation.  I am studying law (3rd year) and I am writing you to say thank you for your freindship.  Take care of you and go on helping to save lives.  Yours hopefully, Oneysy M. Camero"

From Brazil:

"Dear Dr. John, How are you?  Here everything is fine. You means a lot to me 'cause with you I could learn how to help people and how to look at life from another point of view. Your work really impressed me and inspired me to help people as a voluntary.   I hope you can meet lots of young people and give them support just like you were doing here in Brasil and also meet voluntary people and change their lives just like you did to mine!  I'm very gratefull for this!  Thank you VERY MUCH for being part of my life!  Please, e-mail me when you could. Tell me about other places you are visiting.  You are very special to me! From your friend. Camila Braz"

From Somewhere:

"It is nice to know someone like you is out there. I am 20 years old and I am HIV positive. I have been aware of this status since my 18th birthday. I am very interested in being a peer educator and letting people know that HIV/AIDS is happening and anyone can be a victim... If you could send me any information about the PeerCorps I would greatly appreciate it. I am willing to devote myself to this cause so that I can prevent anyone from being in the same situation as I."

Unknown:

"I still canít believe you came to visit us.  At first, I wondered why you wanted to talk with me and my friends because I donít just talk to strangers. I was very lucky to be part of your group. Yesterday I talked to my cousin and she didnít even know about AIDS and like, what to do. Now she does. You have opened up new aspects in my life. I truly and greatly love being part of the PeerCorps. It is such a great feeling knowing you are helping to maybe save a life; something so precious that at times we take for granted. I Thank You!!!!!!"
 
 

Dear Dr. John,
I read your article in Seventeen and I just wanted to say thanx!  What you are doing is incredible and needed.  I am 5 and I practice safe sex and that is the outcome of being educated about all the STD's (sexually-transmitted diseases).  Sex is supposed to be something that is free and that two people can share to say that they love each other but unfortunately it's not free and there is a big price to pay if you're no protected.  I would just like to let you know that you are helping a lot of people.  If there is anyway  to join your team I'd love to.  Please let me know how I can help.  I don't have money to give but I would be a hard worker.

Thanx a bunch,
Leandra
 

Dear Dr. Chittick,
Today when I was at the Mall, flipped through the Seveenteen Magazine, the article about your trip to Vietnam to educate teenagers there about AIDS caught my eyes.  I felt very nice inside when I read the article.  I think you have done a very great and wonderful task by traveling to thedeveloping countries to educate teenagers about he disease.  I admire you for being so brave to put such a challenge task onto your shoulder.  Being raise in a developing country like my other teenagers, I was not taught anything about sexuality or AIDS since it's almost like aTaboo to talk about it.  Therefore, most of teenagers grow up there have little to no knowledge of how to protect themselves from the disease.  The reason why I am writing you this letter is because I just want to let you know that I really admire your work and that I  would like to help out  and be part of the helping hands.  Thanks for reading my letter.

Sincerely,
Camnga H. Thach

Dear Dr. Chittick,
I read what is HIV/AIDS but I still do not understand what it is that HIV is in a Non-scientific way.  Is HIV the beginning of the AIDS virus as I have a friend who is HIV positive and I would really like to know s he dying or is it going to go away.  I love him so much and don't want him to die this world is so horrible to take life from somebody so young.  I want his life to continue i would like for you to tell me...

Dr. John,
Thank you for your advice, it meant a lot to me.  It seems that you really care about us because if it would've been someone esle that I might of told they probally would have told me i don't care that is your problem.  Eve if it is my own fault and problem it shows that also there is someone out there that really cares.  Thank You for your advice and also for your concern.  I really appreciate it.  Hope to hear from you again.

P.S. When will we meet again?  I really  want to start working on that stop action.

From Canada:

"Hello, sorry for not writting you earlier but i've been quite busy lately geting ready for the summer and stuff. like getting a job and finnishing the school year. Anyways I had really appreciated it when you bought me dinner at wendy's that time and i'm very thankfull for it. yeah so how are you doing? where are you now and where are you going next?  i've got to tell you that your speech that you did in front of our school didnt only get to the students. our grade 9 english teacher had just found out that one of her closest friends had a very high chance of getting aids and that his girlfriend had it for sure. so it kinda got to her quite deeply because she never thought that her close friend like that would get it. anyways well. keep doin what your doing 'cause your doing great!  Keep in touch, -Devon Clairmont"

From Russia:
 
"Hello,  Thisz me Ivan from Moscow school (if you remember me). Don't pay attention to gramma in my letters (it's not allright). You know, i wanna thank you, cuz you really help me. Maybe you understand thet one of the main theme in our discussions is kisses, sometimes sex, sometimes some parts of our body (oops..). Am i right, if one my friend says:"Wow... look at her i'd like to (Ya know something like a french kiss? WE called it "Zasos") have a zasos with her!" And i rteplied-"Wait, think first, then do what you wanna do!"

From Brazil:

"My mom and I were talking about the issue and we realized our city doesn't have enough organizations to treat HIV/AIDS. Brazil is the only country in the world that gives free treatment to EVERYONE, but in our city, capital of the estate and regional metropolis, this help sort of lacks. My mother wants to know what can she do, but I didn't know the answer. Can everybody be part of the program or do you have to be a teen? Do you have to be by yourself "peering", or can you stablish on office...? Leonardo Sampaio, Fortaleza - CE"

From Bulgaria:

"Hello Dr. Jhon Chittick, Remember me? I was sitting just in front of you, dressed in a blue jacket, short-haired, a little beard on my cheeks...with a rapt look on my face...we shook hands twice and you asked for my name which in fact is Angel (may be sounding unusual to an American) it was just today from 10:10 to 10:57 before noon.

I hardly dare think you could have remembered me 'cause there are so many students you talk to...anyway i wanted to share my enjoyment from the talk. It was both interesting and instructive to me. I'm sure anyone else would express my opinion... Good luck and may less people catch AIDS in the future."

From Uganda:

"Dr.John  i perticularly remember your visit to Uganda ,how is yuo life as per now .I thank God for sacrificial men like you. In deed when you reach out on a very serious subject like AIDs, glory all the heavenly blessings upon your life.  I applied the words i got you to help some youth out there but to my personal observation soo many youth still get infected the major course perhaps being poverty since since a great percentage of them are jobless and live bellow povertyline.  bye-bye,Arose
