HIV Positive Man Encourages Other Sufferers

In a small northwestern town in the Central African Republic, one man who has been HIV positive for nearly 20 years is leading an individual crusade to help others with the same disease. Jeremie Nadoum convinces them to leave their shame behind and grow vegetables together so they can survive.
In the latest installment of VOA's Making a Difference, Nico Colombant reports the only thing Nadoum complains about is not getting enough outside help.

What an amazing person...a true representation of how people ought to be. Bless his heart and those around him <3

Considering that these people are getting meds they will live a lot longer than those who do not. I can only hope that the AIDS epidemic eventually ceases and that all violence and superstition ends as well.
