From the President George W.Bosh:

"You know, one good example of this good work is supported by -- that the U.S. supports is called the Coptic Hope Center in Nairobi, Kenya. Three years ago, the center had a staff of four people, and resources to treat no more than five HIV/AIDS patients a day. Today, the staff consists of 40 people and 10 volunteers who provide care and treatment services to over 6,000 people. I want to thank the Director of the Hope Center, Bishop Paul, who's with us today. I want to thank you for being here. I want to thank you for your leadership and for your care for your fellow human beings"

I don't even think Bush knows what the Coptic church is, he probably just heard about it the morning before this speech.

[CopticLion]

@Theotokosmaryam2007,don't worry...coz too many people know whats the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria this days :)

we are an International & Apostolic church by St.Mark(2000 years ago...).

[Theotokosmaryam2007]

@CopticLion I'm very overjoyed actually, but I find that knowledge of our Church really lies with the intellectuals, not so much the others which is really sad but may God bless the eyes of everyone to see His Light :)

[CopticLion]

@Theotokosmaryam2007,as soon as all the World will know the light of the old Apostolic Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria...

Amen Amen Amen :) +++

what is funny he needs aproval to get funding for aids research and to help needy people, however, if we need to go to war with 2 country's needlessly. He thinks "why not"

@conservfemale

Fox did but I think it's pretty ironic that he did more for black people than the first ever black president. I'm really shocked he didn't get a peace prize for his fighting of HIV/AIDS.

[HitmanEF]

He spent close to 50 billion dollars for fight with diseases. He was an amazing human being... what a president, and what a leader he was
