 AB    The Eudes Foundation started its activities in 1988. Seven houses were
       adapted two offer psychologia, physia and affective support along the
       whole spectrum of HIV infection AIDS disease. Up to 70 people can be
       attended in each house, and so far, more than 100 patients have died in
       its locations, accompanied by self-support groups and by Foundation
       staff. Love is the best remedy, is our key message. Finantial support is
       provided by voluntary donations. Government support has gained during
       the last year. The main obstacles we have found are the negative
       attitudes from some neighbors were care-houses are located. During 1993
       a whole human rights process went to civil court. The local Community
       leaders of the District La Patria, (Bogota), acussed the EUDES
       Foundation of being responsible for the danger of infection and
       Teenagers mental-health illenes in the district. Fourtunately, Court
       favoured EUDES Foundation.
