All of those children are so beautiful. I work with children and my dream is to go to Africa and help these children in whatever way possible to make their lives a little brighter and give them hope, play with them so for 10 inutes they can 4get about the pain and anguish of their lives. Its not fair that their are murderers out there perfectly healthy and theses beautiful children and families destroyed by this virus. I pray to God that one day we will find a cure to help them, we live in hope!

This video has left me in tears. I can not even begin to imagine what it must be like to grow up in a nation devestated by the AIDS epidemic. The images in this video are absolutely incredible. If you just look into the children's eyes, you can sense the kind of pain and tragedy they experience day in and day out. These poor children are surrounded by disease and poverty, and so many are left orphaned. It is disgusting to see how these children live in comparison to children here in America.

What can someone like me do to make a difference? I wish I could bring them all to the states and give them the best life that I can. I don't have much, but I have a lot of love, my own home and filled with the Love of Jesus. What can I do?
