Today is World AIDS Orphans Day – a day dedicated to advocating on behalf of nearly 25 million children have been orphaned by AIDS. Less than one in ten of these children receive any external support. It is time to make children a priority in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
We have just recently gotten started with HOFO in Silembe, Zambia, and of the 11 children there, we already know of one that is HIV positive.
During our recent trip to Zambia, we visited a school for Orphans in Lusaka, the capital city, and it was apparent that there were some there that were HIV positive. We can do more to help, we can do more today.
