World AIDS Day 2009

Hello everyone! Did you know that every 13 seconds a child somewhere in the world is orphaned to the HIV/AIDS pandemic? It’s a startling number that breaks my heart. Here in America we are largely isolated from the devastation that many nations of the world are facing on a daily basis due to this virus. In America we have fantastic access to AIDS medication that just doesn’t exist for large portions of the world.

I ask you today for two things.

1)  Take just a moment out of your day to say a prayer or at least think of all these poor children who don’t have access to the great things we do in America.

2) To consider sponsoring a child from an AIDS impacted country. If you want to know more, just ask me. I have picture folders from Zambia and Rwanda with kids of all ages and genders.

You can make a difference and you can offer HOPE in a hopeless situation. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

“To the world you might be one person but to one person you might be the world.”
