"Behind
this incredible obsession with abstractions and statistics there are these
individual human predicaments, and it's as if the world and its negotiations
just can't focus on the human reality." - Stephen Lewis, UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa |
More than 28 million sub-Saharan Africans are infected with HIV/AIDS, 2.3 million died in 2001. 3.4 million more were infected. The disease has orphaned millions of African children, 500,000 living in Zambia alone. Millions more will lose parents unless heroic efforts are undertaken. |
Through
PhotoSensitive, I have travelled
to Zambia, Lesotho, Mozambique and Ethiopia in pursuit of this, perhaps
the most important story of our time. I plan more trips to Africa to continue
this work. To see more of Photosensitive's coverage on HIV/AIDS Zambia: CARE Canada |
