Dave Anderson has more than 20 years in Volunteer Management, and currently serves as the Volunteer Coordinator for The Kind Clinic. He earned a Bachelor of Science and Applied Science, and served as the Curator and Presenter Chairman of the National AIDS Quilts to Austin 2025.
In my role, recruiting people across Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas, whenever someone seeks more info and wants to join our Kind Crew at The Kind Clinic. The next step is Orientation, so while am presenting ALL about Kind Clinic, we come to a part of explaining HIV.
I quickly realized that so many people ... younger ... do not know our history.
I speak to them in Historic Language as well as Up-to-Date language.
I share with them the 1980s through today. I share with them ACT UP. I share with them the National AIDS Memorial Quilt.
I am constantly looking for people that lived through the AIDS days. And we're still here! And although I am not living with HIV, my 500+ friends that I can name even today are still with me. And I see and hear the younger generation coming to learn.
Alfonso Carlon - Lotus Bend Sanctuary
Raised during the transformative period of the sexual revolution in the 1960s and 1970s, Alfonso’s early experiences were shaped by central topics such as sexual health, family planning, male health, and HIV/AIDS. These formative influences led him to dedicate more than 25 years to roles including public health educator, HIV testing counselor, HIV training specialist, and program director at organizations such as Cardea (Texas) Department of State Health Services, Austin Public Health, and People’s Community Clinic. His professional focus has been on coalition-building, enhancing organizational capacity, and advocating for community awareness around key health issues, including family planning education, HIV testing and linkage to care, and capacity-building and research services for underserved and marginalized populations.
In May 2013, Alfonso was diagnosed with HIV and promptly began treatment, achieving undetectable and untransmissible status within six months of exposure. He remains committed to supporting individuals affected by HIV, participating regularly in support calls and engaging in clinical and research studies related to HIV stigma and medications.
Beyond his work in family planning and sexual health, Alfonso also cultivated expertise in landscape design and the creation of restorative outdoor environments. His career as a professional landscaper spans more than 30 years, during which he has transformed numerous Austin gardens into spaces that promote healing and connection. Since 1994, he has devoted considerable effort to developing a seven-acre sanctuary intended as a place for solace and renewal. In 2018, Lotus Bend Sanctuary was founded to provide a heart-centered environment where visitors can reconnect with nature, rejuvenate their spirits, and recommit to personal and community well-being.
Alfonso is also the proud biological father of two amazing sons Teo and Gavriel currently ages 26 and 31.
