roles. Affiliations are listed for identification purposes only and do

Eric Krock, Exective Director As the Founder and Executive Director of SafeForAll.org, Eric
Krock is responsible for building and maintaining the site, defining
its policies for acceptable content, selecting videos for inclusion on
the site, identifying new resources to help increase the breadth and
depth of the site's coverage of HIV/AIDS-related topics and the number
of languages included, and promoting awareness of the web site. Eric
has been concerned for many years about the problem of HIV/AIDS and in
particular its epidemic spread in Africa and only recently found this
way to make a difference on the problem. He and his family have not
been affected by HIV/AIDS itself, but his mother fought a 26 year long
battle against progressive multiple sclerosis until her death in 2005,
and this has given him a deep appreciation for the impact that a
progressive, incurable disease can have on a person and their family, a
desire to see that others are spared from the burden of viral diseases,
and a desire to see that people battling disease can get access to the
best treatment possible. He is a member of RealizeAIDS.org and is a member
of the Ethiopia AIDS/Medical Committee that is part of the Ethiopia
Initiative at Menlo Park
Presbyterian Church. He attended the first "Disturbing
Voices" conference on global HIV/AIDS at Saddleback Church
in December, 2005. He currently sponsors one child in Ethiopia. His
other not-for-profit interests include regular blood donation and
encouraging people to register as potential marrow donors. Eric brings to

publishing, Internet, and video software companies including Interleaf,
Netscape, and Kontiki. He can be contacted by email.

Financial Status and Organization
It is our intent to formally incorporate SafeForAll.org as a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization. We have not done so to date because our
expenses are relatively low, the executive director is able to cover
them directly for now, we are not currently seeking or accepting
financial donations, and our highest priority for the moment is
creating and acquiring the rights to the largest library of HIV/AIDS
prevention education videos in the world. If a person or foundation
emerges who would like to make a donation in support of SafeForAll.org,
we'll accelerate the process of incorporating as there are certainly
ways we could put donations to good use. Please contact
us if you are interested in supporting SafeForAll.org in any way.
