AIDS in Africa
AIDS is an old epidemic that is deadly serious
I lost relatives to AIDS, a couple of my closest cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high-school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the '80s. When it's that close to you, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it. - queen Latifah
HIV/AIDS infects cell of the immune system, and many adults and children alike, can't fight it.
Many people are dying from AIDS and need assistance doing even the simplest of tasks.
89% of families in Sub-Saharan Africa are dying and falling apart from HIV/AIDS, and over 15 million children are now lost and alone with no loving family to support them.
Many children in Africa can't run happily and free, as they and their families are dying by the millions.
