One hour of tears

I watched a program last night that brought me to tears early in and I cried pretty much all the way through it.

I knew the HIV/AIDS crisis was proofound but somehow I missed along the way just how bad it is in Africa. Millions affected, so many orphans, so many grandmothers left childless to raise their grandchildren. Poverty beyond comprehension.

I now need to find a way to channel my desire to help. I guess this is as good a place to start as any.

Stephen Lewis is a great man and has accomplished great things. He is a true hero.

If I had known sooner, I would have given more of my Christmas $$ to this cause - I'm sure people would have understood that this is a present that we can all benefit from.
