    A little perspective

    By Jeremy | February 1, 2005

    December's tsunami claimed approximately 250,000 lives in one horrific afternoon, making it one of the worst natural disasters in history and triggering an unprecedented outpouring of global compassion. Yet in shear scope of impact, the tsunami pales in comparison to the global reach of HIV/AIDS. "Worldwide, 22 million people have died of AIDS, and today 40 million people are infected - nearly all in developing countries like Uganda. And tragically, there are 14 million orphaned children like Edward, digging out of desperate holes." (Read the entire article here.) When the dust settles and the towns and villages affected by the tsunami have been rebuilt, will we care to look after the Somali, Indian, and Indonesian children orphaned in those same villages by AIDS and not a natural disaster?movies girlsgossip girl moviefree hardcore movieshellraiser moviesmovie horror masksi movies love sexmovies jjjkira kenner moviesmovies orgy lesbianlestai movies

      I posted about this too. I think it will eventually dawn on the world that HIV/AIDS (as well as malnutrition, malaria, and other forms of preventable death and suffering) is in need of just as much “disaster” relief as the tsunami disaster, if not more. I think the idea is spreading. Thanks for doing your part.
