It always annoys me when people try to find fault with people who are calling attention to charity.They use well known faces simply because it makes it easier to catch people's attention,they're not saying that they're the only ones making an effort.And what about Milly Katana?She isn't stealing presentation,she's an actual victim of aids and is happy to have received help from this organisation.Regardless of who they are,calling attention to charity can never be a bad thing.

Hollywood's job is to promote and give, your job is to give, African dictator's job is to squander and laugh

In 1980, the average annual income in Zimbabwe was US$950, and a Zimbabwean dollar was worth more than an American one. By 2003, the average income was less than US$400, and the Zimbabwean economy was in freefall.Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe for nearly three decades and has led it, in that time, from impressive success to the most dramatic peacetime collapse of any country since Weimar Germany".

In November, 2008, the government of Zimbabwe spent $7.3 million donated by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. A representative of the organisation declined to speculate on how the money was spent, except that it was not for the intended purpose, and the government has failed to honour requests to return the money. Mugabe runs the nation as a dictator.

To continue, the Global Fund needs funds from donor countries. So please, mobilise yourself to continue this great adventure for a better tomorrow.

Personally yes, but as an individual with over 7 billion people on the planet my life or my childs are meaningless in the grand scheme.

Developing Africas economy, stabilising it's government and educating it's people will have a far deeper impact on the future of the continent. The fund is doing this. I was merely commenting that the video doesn't focus on it.
