The Ankali project has provided emotional support to about 250 persons with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, their partners, family members and friends. Volunteers act as a "supportive friend" and allow subjects the opportunity to express their feelings. The project's model easily could be adapted to meet the needs of persons with other terminal illnesses. One of the most important features of the model is the compulsory support-group structure for volunteers.
安卡利项目已为约250名获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者及其伴侣、家庭成员和朋友提供了情感支持。志愿者充当“支持性朋友”,让服务对象有机会表达自己的感受。该项目的模式很容易进行调整,以满足其他绝症患者的需求。该模式最重要的特点之一是志愿者必须参加支持小组。
