AIDS is Knocking Caxtons Story, AIDS (orphan) survivor!

Caxton Odhiambo is an AIDS orphan living in Rabuor, Western Kenya. Rabuor was hit hardest among the regions with a high infection rate of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this video he describes a day in his life, living as the head of his household, and oldest living person in his family, at age 15. This is one of five videos. Others will be posted in the future.

are you really that stupid or are you just kidding???, i hope that.

i really do

Stupidity and the ability to spell and use correct grammar have nothing to do with each other. Your stupidity comes from your ignorance and your apathy. I also believe the fact you had to reply by calling someone a dumbass for thier spelling rather than responding with your reasoning and maybe creating a debate definately makes you the intellectualy inferior one. Also he/she didn't 'attempt' to call you stupid, they flat out did, and were right.

Say a man contracted AIDS through sleeping with prostitutes. And that same man goes back home from work in the city and sleeps with his wife. However, his wife has no idea that her husband has AIDS. Still her fault? She doesn't deserve to live?

You said you have no sympathy for AIDS orphans. What have they done? Why do they have to suffer the consequence of AIDS? Clearly you have NO IDEA what is going on in Africa.

As mahwajuly86 said, there are so many other ways to contract the virus...

Thank you! Surely WheatPete is really ignorant to know and understand issues related to HIV/AIDS. Just to make 1 thing clear, there are many ways one can contract the AIDS virus not just through promiscuity. WheatPete, to show u how u can be a victim, u can be involved in a vehicle accident tomorrow and be badly injured, and because of inappropriate medical approach, u can contract the AIDS virus! So stop judging by external standards but judge by true standards. These kids need our help.

I feel pity for you

[WheatPete]

You attempt to call me "stupid" when you can't even write correctly. You didn't use capital letters; your grammar was abominable. Overall, there were many mistakes in your writing - and yet you're calling me the intellectual inferior one. What a dumbass you are.

[WheatPete]

I have no sympathy for orphaned children whose parents died from AIDS. Reason: Because their parents - or at least one of their parents - were being promiscuous. They shouldn't have been promiscuous. Everyone only needs to have one sexual partner their entire lives - that's all. Otherwise they're slutty. Moreover, if a man has sex while married, he definitely derserves to get HIV and, because he was an adulterer, deserves no sympathy.

Outstanding viedo. I would also help, but I do not trust anyone who says "X amount of money each day goes to this poor child and you can help..." I don't imagine much goes to the orphans who could get help. Granted there are millions upon million, but still I would give if I knew I was actually sending all of the money to a group of wonderful children like these. Too bad America is a shit country *shrug*
