World Aids Day 2005


A big thanks to my friend Doug for reminding me of this today.

"This is a day to think about the over 20 million people who have died from AIDS. It is a time to reflect on the current lives of over 25 million people believed to be living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Of those who are HIV positive, ninety-five percent live in developing countries. Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned by AIDS."

Doug lost his infant daughter and wife to Aids.

Thanks for your allow me and so many to know your story Doug! We are thrilled you are speaking at our middle school and high school retreats.
