World AIDS Day 0

Dec1

The economy has gone bad, the world is at war, but even though it is not discussed on the evening news as much as it used to be HIV/AIDS has not gone away.  It is still here.  It still kills millions.  It still ruins lives.

EchoTarpeian‘s lens has some harsh statistics to prove it: Presently Over 33 Million People Living with AIDS.

Donnette introduces us to many children in Africa who know too well the destruction of this disease: Outreach Africa ~Bringing Hope To Africa’s Aids Orphans

What can YOU do for World AIDS Day?  Here are a few ideas:

  • Make a lens for one of these squidoo charities:
    Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
    AIDS Research Alliance
  • Donate a dollar to Keep a Child Alive
  • Tweet with the hashtag #worldaidsday, and follow @joinred
  • Go with a friend to get an HIV test
  • Knit a doll for a child with AIDS
