Annie Lennox - Annie Lennox - EPK 3

[RalphCMX]

Well, maybe people in western countries still don't feel rich enough to give money away. I don't understand, why Madonna, who fights against HIV, too, appears in these stupid ads by Versace, Vuitton, ... I mean, it's cold-hearted to buy dresses for $1000 or bags for $500, if you could help people in Africa with this money. A dress for $100 would be enough. I really don't understand, why Madonna "teaches" people, that it makes sense to buy these luxury products. That's "poison" to their minds.

[naturalyshocked]

i wish i could help, but i have less than 1000€ on my bank account and lots of bills every month.

[pancakesryummy]

Oh Annie I don't know how you do this. Your heart must be so big and so strong. The world thanks you.

[smptrs]

it breaks my heart seeing those coffins. some so tiny. =(

bless you annie

[Lukey89]

the only thing i dont understand is why she only talks about women...

[nannynestor]

Because women don't infect themselves with AIDS.

[gummybrain]

uh, neither do men.

[jasona2012]

Annie talks about women because SING is 23 female singers raising funds & awareness about HIV in Africa. The support is for all affected by HIV, but a major issue is getting help for pregnant women. 1/3rd of pregnant women in South Africa are infected most don't have any symptoms so are not aware of their status. It only takes 1 dose of an antiretroviral drug to stop the baby becoming infected but even this isn't available to most women. Hence the video showing childrens coffins.

[dirtywoggy]

Yes that is correct. The Sing campaign is directed at preventing vertical transmission. The actual single dose anti-retroviral costs around 4$, and has been shown, moreso in non-breastfeeding populations to significantly reduce the likelihood of the infant becoming infected. Such transmission is nearly non-existent in industrialized countries due to access to ARV regimes given during preg, labour and postpartum.Further, cultural barriers and blame placed on women prevent access to care.

[MichaelosAngeles]

thank you for posting.

[pibecba23]

truly heartbreaking!

but inspirng!

[2005miab]

The little coffins...how heartbreaking. Thank you for making this part of the HIV tragedy available to us. I doubt anyone else would film it. How can it now touch our hearts.

Onward, Annie

[itsanty]

Annie - What a powerful campaign you are SINGing. This supermarket should give out FOR FREE - simple educational material - to prevent the need to BUY these coffins.

[Iceblooo]

Very well made. Everyone should see this !

[TRANSCAPE]

Even if I see it every day. This video still touch my heart.

[mkbr2007]

Very, Very Sad!!! Something has to be done, these people need help. They also have to be taught birth control methods "Condoms" to help stop the spread of HIV, and control the number of infected births etc.

[nowinriccarton]

Its not just the music anymore - I like Annie because she's GENUINE.

[lsophie09]

So sad

[humphreybbare]

Such a sad situation, thank you Annie for making me more aware of what is really happening.
