Fourth Annual Softball Tournament to benefit AssistHers which is a
volunteer organization formed in 1996 to provide non-medical in-home
support and care to lesbians with illnesses such as cancer,
fibromyalgia, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis. Volunteers work together
to provide transportation and care to help clients remain in their own
homes. Half of our clients live alone. The other half has friends or
partners who are struggling as the caregiver and sole provider.
Naturally, support and friendship is extended to our clients' partners,
caregivers, children and other family members. AssistHers is a
lesbian-based organization which uses the Care Team model, provides
ongoing health-related education to its volunteers and is willing to
take clients affected by illnesses. Good health is a blessing which
affects our relationships, financial stability and every day quality of
life. AssistHers is committed to promoting good health. more

Just like the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, the Holy Quran
contains verses that lead traditional clerics to condemn homosexuality
outright. But there are those rare Islamic spiritual leaders, or imams,
who are gay. One of the first to come out publicly was IMAM MUHSIN
HENDRICKS in SOUTH AFRICA. "This Way Out" correspondent and Radio
Netherlands human rights reporter ERIC BEAUCHEMIN asks him how he
manages to resolve the apparent contradictions. 6:39
