Think that the battle is hopeless? It's not! These pictures are of the same woman... the colour photo was taken only 40 days after she began receiving anti-retroviral drugs! To read the article I grabbed these p
ictures from, see The Lazarus Effect (the article highlights Rwanda specifically). And the drugs - although more expensive in Canada - are available for just $140 per year per person in Africa. So why are people still dying???World Vision has a program called Hope Child Sponsorship. For $40 per month, you can sponsor a child living in a community affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This ensures that a child has access to water, nutritious food, education, and health care... things we definitely take for granted! Let me know if you want more information.
