TULSA
TRAINING
CREATES
NEW
VOLUNTEERS
Drivers,
movers,
caregivers
and
friends
are the results of two RAIN
volunteer training sessions
held in the Eastern Oklahoma
region recently. St. Jerome
Parish and the Unity Church
of Christianity played host to
24 potential volunteers in a
new 6-hour RAIN training format. Participants were
pleased with its fast paced
design and many stated that
the new condensed version
of the training is what encouraged them to take part because it fit more easily into
their busy schedules.
All in attendance made
the decision to become volunteers in one or more types
of RAIN Teams. The ever
growing Transportation Team
gained 5 members. With
over 80 ride requests made
to the Tulsa office each
month, the additional drivers
will help tremendously as the
Tulsa Transportation Team
strives to meet the needs of
its 52 clients.
Most new volunteers
were interested in Tulsa's
new On-Call & Social Activity
Teams. Both of these programs provide an excellent
way for someone with limited
time to be of service to those
living with HIV/AIDS. Both
teams continue to grow as
RAIN moves in a new and
exciting direction of service.
Of course, there is still a
need for volunteers for our
original model of service, the
Traditional Team. These
teams are so important in the
lives or our clients ..
If you'd like more information about training to be a
RAINVolunteer in Tulsa,
please call Kris Ryan or Andrew Carter at 495-4195 or

WITH UNITED
OUTREACH
IN
METHODIST
CHURCH
SOUTH
AFRICA
In December, Marcy Gardenhire, RAIN's
Western Oklahoma Regional Coordinator, participated in an outreach effort in South Africa
with mission directors from the Oklahoma
United Methodist Church Conference. The goal
of the trip was to form an alliance between the
Methodist Church of Southern Africa, the Oklahoma United Methodist Church's "Volunteers. in
Mission" and RAIN Oklahoma to respond to the
AIDS epidemic.
According to Joint United Nations Program
on HIV/AIDS, there are 29 million adults and
children living with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan
Africa. Africa, as a continent, has 10% of the
world's population and 70% of the global HIV/
AIDS cases. In South Africa alone, a country
less than twice the size of Texas, it is estimated
that 4.2 million men, women and children are
infected with HIV. As Gardenhire observed, "The
impact of HIV/AIDS on this country is so overwhelming. Still, I believe there is hope for
change as the heart of our nation becomes
more aware of their plight."

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently
awarded a Faith in Action
grant to the Western Oklahoma RAIN office in Oklahoma City. The $35,000
grant was awarded as a part
of the Foundation's commitment to expand its national
interfaith volunteer care giving program. Currently, the
Faith in Action network consists of more than 1,100 programs nationwide.
Marcy Gardenhire, project director for the grant said,

GRANT
FOR
The door has been opened for RAIN,along
with the Oklahoma United Methodist Church, to
make a positive response to the people of
South Africa who are living with HIV/AIDS. While
the program is in the developmental stage at
this time, the ultimate goal will be to recruit and
train mission teams to go to South Africa and
work beside the folks who are engaged in HIV
prevention, care, and education projects. According to Gardenhire, "We are hopeful we will
be able to send a trained volunteer team back
this year."
"We see our outreach to Africa as a very
natural next step in our work at RAIN," says
RAIN's Executive Director, Jean Ann Van Krevelen. "I am pleased that President Bush recognizes the severity of the problem in Africa and
applaud his recommendations to increase funding in that area. However, I caution everyone to
rememberthere are still people in need of treatment and support right here in our own country."

tions whose mission is expressed through a call to live
out the teachings of our faith
heritage in service to others.
We are honored to participate
with this initiative that supports the important work of
faith-based programs,"
Monies from this grant
will support the work of the
current traditional RAIN
teams and provide funding for
expansion of the care team
model of service through recruitment and training of new
volunteers. All Western Oklahoma region traditional teams
have added the phrase "Faith
in Action" to their name.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is the nation's
largest philanthropy devoted
exclusively to health and
health care. The Faith in Action initiative supports local
groups like RAIN, which represent many faiths who volunteer to work together to care
for people with long-term illnesses or disabilities.
TO
RAIN
Faith in Action National
Director, Dr. Burton Reifer,
MD, MPH, stressed the importance of neighbor helping
neighbor, "As our nation
struggles to support those
with long-term health conditions, interfaith efforts have
never been more important.
The strength of our nation
rests in our diversity. People
of all races, colors, and religions need to be encouraged
to bond together to make a
better life for friends and
neighbors in need ..." His remarks clearly reflect the similar mission shared by RAIN
and the Faith in Action initiative. The culturally diverse
and interfaith nature of the
RAIN clientele and volunteer
base gives RAIN strong connection to this special program.
RAIN's Executive Director, Jean Ann Van Krevelen, is
in the process of applying for
a similar grant for the Eastern
Oklahoma RAIN office.

Ms. Kim Nickerson, President
A new type of service
team has recently been
formed at RAIN in both OKC &
Tulsa to respond to the immediate needs that arise within
our community-an On-Call
RAINTeam.
The On-Call Team is a
group of RAIN volunteers who
respond to special one-time
&/or short-term needs of people living with HIV/AIDS.
These requests can be from
current RAIN clients, new
RAIN clients awaiting assignment to a traditional team,
clients from other HIV/AIDS
case management agencies
or people living with HIV/AIDS
that are not receiving any
agency services.
Often, requests for the
On-Call Team are immediate
and short term, such as help
with moving or a special
home repair project. Some of
the duties the On-Call Team
may include, but are not limited to, help with errands,
household chores and clean-
ing, some home maintenance
and repair work, relocation,
yard work and assistance
with meals.
Members of the On-Call
Teams include volunteers
who are currently serving on a
RAIN team who are willing to
be contacted when requests

Teams in Tulsa and Oklahoma

days.
The Tulsa Social Activity
Team recently participated in
"Movie Night" at the Movies 8
Cinema. Volunteers and clients
had their pick of the eight movies showing that evening, giving
everyone the opportunity to be
with other RAIN friends and getting to see a first run movie at
the same time. Because it was
so popular, Andrew Carter, Special Teams Coordinator at the
Tulsa office plans on making
"Movie Night" a regular part of RAIN's Social Activities in Tulsa.
This month, through the generosity of the American Theater Company, the Tulsa RAIN office has
been treated to a limited number of tickets to the

In Oklahoma City, twenty three RAIN
clients and volunteers attended a special
performance by master storyteller/
musicianj''tradition bearer" Derek Burrows. Derek was one of the storytellers
featured at this year's OKC Winter Tales
Festival at the Arts Center. Everyone was
entertained and moved by his stories and
fables. This event was the first endeavor
of OKC's Special Activities Team, and all
agreed that they're off to a successful
start!
Everyone at RAIN is excited about the
Social Activity Teams and the fun events
they're having. If you'd like to be part of

TRAINING
CREATES
NEW
VOLUNTEERS
Drivers,
movers,
caregivers
and
friends
are the results of two RAIN
volunteer training sessions
held in the Eastern Oklahoma
region recently. St. Jerome
Parish and the Unity Church
of Christianity played host to
24 potential volunteers in a
new 6-hour RAIN training format. Participants were
pleased with its fast paced
design and many stated that
the new condensed version
of the training is what encouraged them to take part because it fit more easily into
their busy schedules.
All in attendance made
the decision to become volunteers in one or more types
of RAIN Teams. The ever
growing Transportation Team
gained 5 members. With
over 80 ride requests made
to the Tulsa office each
month, the additional drivers
will help tremendously as the
Tulsa Transportation Team
strives to meet the needs of
its 52 clients.
Most new volunteers
were interested in Tulsa's
new On-Call & Social Activity
Teams. Both of these programs provide an excellent
way for someone with limited
time to be of service to those
living with HIV/AIDS. Both
teams continue to grow as
RAIN moves in a new and
exciting direction of service.
Of course, there is still a
need for volunteers for our
original model of service, the
Traditional Team. These
teams are so important in the
lives or our clients ..
If you'd like more information about training to be a
RAINVolunteer in Tulsa,
please call Kris Ryan or Andrew Carter at 495-4195 or

WITH UNITED
OUTREACH
IN
METHODIST
CHURCH
SOUTH
AFRICA
In December, Marcy Gardenhire, RAIN's
Western Oklahoma Regional Coordinator, participated in an outreach effort in South Africa
with mission directors from the Oklahoma
United Methodist Church Conference. The goal
of the trip was to form an alliance between the
Methodist Church of Southern Africa, the Oklahoma United Methodist Church's "Volunteers. in
Mission" and RAIN Oklahoma to respond to the
AIDS epidemic.
According to Joint United Nations Program
on HIV/AIDS, there are 29 million adults and
children living with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan
Africa. Africa, as a continent, has 10% of the
world's population and 70% of the global HIV/
AIDS cases. In South Africa alone, a country
less than twice the size of Texas, it is estimated
that 4.2 million men, women and children are
infected with HIV. As Gardenhire observed, "The
impact of HIV/AIDS on this country is so overwhelming. Still, I believe there is hope for
change as the heart of our nation becomes
more aware of their plight."

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently
awarded a Faith in Action
grant to the Western Oklahoma RAIN office in Oklahoma City. The $35,000
grant was awarded as a part
of the Foundation's commitment to expand its national
interfaith volunteer care giving program. Currently, the
Faith in Action network consists of more than 1,100 programs nationwide.
Marcy Gardenhire, project director for the grant said,
" As a recipient of the Faith in
Action grant, RAIN is proud to

GRANT
FOR
The door has been opened for RAIN,along
with the Oklahoma United Methodist Church, to
make a positive response to the people of
South Africa who are living with HIV/AIDS. While
the program is in the developmental stage at
this time, the ultimate goal will be to recruit and
train mission teams to go to South Africa and
work beside the folks who are engaged in HIV
prevention, care, and education projects. According to Gardenhire, "We are hopeful we will
be able to send a trained volunteer team back
this year."
"We see our outreach to Africa as a very
natural next step in our work at RAIN," says
RAIN's Executive Director, Jean Ann Van Krevelen. "I am pleased that President Bush recognizes the severity of the problem in Africa and
applaud his recommendations to increase funding in that area. However, I caution everyone to
rememberthere are still people in need of treatment and support right here in our own country."
AWARDED
tions whose mission is expressed through a call to live
out the teachings of our faith
heritage in service to others.
We are honored to participate
with this initiative that supports the important work of
faith-based programs,"
Monies from this grant
will support the work of the
current traditional RAIN
teams and provide funding for
expansion of the care team
model of service through recruitment and training of new
volunteers. All Western Oklahoma region traditional teams
have added the phrase "Faith
in Action" to their name.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is the nation's
largest philanthropy devoted
exclusively to health and
health care. The Faith in Action initiative supports local
groups like RAIN, which represent many faiths who volunteer to work together to care
for people with long-term illnesses or disabilities.
TO
RAIN
Faith in Action National
Director, Dr. Burton Reifer,
MD, MPH, stressed the importance of neighbor helping
neighbor, "As our nation
struggles to support those
with long-term health conditions, interfaith efforts have
never been more important.
The strength of our nation
rests in our diversity. People
of all races, colors, and religions need to be encouraged
to bond together to make a
better life for friends and
neighbors in need ..." His remarks clearly reflect the similar mission shared by RAIN
and the Faith in Action initiative. The culturally diverse
and interfaith nature of the
RAIN clientele and volunteer
base gives RAIN strong connection to this special program.
RAIN's Executive Director, Jean Ann Van Krevelen, is
in the process of applying for
a similar grant for the Eastern
Oklahoma RAIN office.

RAIN'• Board of Directors
Ms. Kim Nickerson, President
A new type of service
team has recently been
formed at RAIN in both OKC &
Tulsa to respond to the immediate needs that arise within
our community-an On-Call
RAINTeam.
The On-Call Team is a
group of RAIN volunteers who
respond to special one-time
&/or short-term needs of people living with HIV/AIDS.
These requests can be from
current RAIN clients, new
RAIN clients awaiting assignment to a traditional team,
clients from other HIV/AIDS
case management agencies
or people living with HIV/AIDS
that are not receiving any
agency services.
Often, requests for the
On-Call Team are immediate
and short term, such as help
with moving or a special
home repair project. Some of
the duties the On-Call Team
may include, but are not limited to, help with errands,
household chores and clean-
ing, some home maintenance
and repair work, relocation,
yard work and assistance
with meals.
Members of the On-Call
Teams include volunteers
who are currently serving on a
RAIN team who are willing to
be contacted when requests
come into the RAIN office, as
well as new volunteers who

RAIN's Social Activity
Teams in Tulsa and Oklahoma
City have been very busy these
days.
The Tulsa Social Activity
Team recently participated in
"Movie Night" at the Movies 8
Cinema. Volunteers and clients
had their pick of the eight movies showing that evening, giving
everyone the opportunity to be
with other RAIN friends and getting to see a first run movie at
the same time. Because it was
so popular, Andrew Carter, Special Teams Coordinator at the
Tulsa office plans on making
"Movie Night" a regular part of RAIN's Social Activities in Tulsa.
This month, through the generosity of the American Theater Company, the Tulsa RAIN office has
been treated to a limited number of tickets to the
new dance-musical production, Roofless, directed by

Tulsa's own award winning actor and director Tyrone Wilkerson. This energetic
show combines a variety of dance styles
and music, creating a production that will
have something for everyone.
In Oklahoma City, twenty three RAIN
clients and volunteers attended a special
performance by master storyteller/
musicianj''tradition bearer" Derek Burrows. Derek was one of the storytellers
featured at this year's OKC Winter Tales
Festival at the Arts Center. Everyone was
entertained and moved by his stories and
fables. This event was the first endeavor
of OKC's Special Activities Team, and all
agreed that they're off to a successful
start!
Everyone at RAIN is excited about the
Social Activity Teams and the fun events
they're having. If you'd like to be part of
RAIN's new model of service, please contact the RAIN office in your area.
