Hello fellow East Villagers!

Did you know that 1 in 10 Asian and Pacific Islanders are chronically infected with hepatitis B?  It sounds like a lot and even more so when you compare that 1 in 1,000 Caucasians.  In fact, 1 out of 4 of those chronically infected will die from liver cancer caused by HBV.  And 2 out of 3 of them didn't even know they were infected.

Does this sound like something that every Asian and Pacific Islander should know?  Are you interested in improving health and saving lives?  Want to spread the word about hepatitis B and liver cancer to your schools, workplaces and communities?  Passionate about being a partner to unite against HBV?

Yes? Then join the Jade Ribbon Campaign to unite against hepatitis B and liver cancer!

There are many ways that you can make a difference in the fight against HBV.  Here are some ways that you can get involved:

- Join our group on East Villagers

- Volunteer with the Asian Liver Center (Volunteer Form)

- Share educational materials with your friends and family (Materials)

- Start a Team HBV Chapter at your school

- Donate to the JRC

And much more!

We hope that you can help us to unite against hepatitis B and liver cancer.

All the best,

Alena
