mother's day


Yesterday was World AIDS Orphan Day.

Today is Mother's Day.



"In 2010, the number of children worldwide who have lost one or both parents to AIDS is expected to reach 25 million – equivalent to the number of people living in New York, Paris, and Bangkok combined. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, over 15 million children have been orphaned by the pandemic.
Experts believe that millions more orphans remain unaccounted for in India, China and Russia."

These precious children don't even have a mother to celebrate, love, and honor today. This is wrong.

Please visit the World AIDS Orphans website for other ways to touch your heart, get educated and get involved.
