World AIDS Day

THE HIV VIRUS is a thief that steals life. In our rural AIDS pediatric center, we focus on preventing the transmission of HIV from mother to child during childbirth. We struggle to get anti-retroviral medicine to children who have been forgotten by the world. We also seek to educate people about how to avoid becoming infected and infecting others.

Jesus never gave up trying to teach people about living abundantly. With God’s help, each of us must find ways to promote prevention, so that all people “may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
