World AIDS Day

Today is World AIDS Day... One way you can help is to go to worldvision.org, and make a donation, or even better yet,... sponsor a HopeChild, like Robinah.

Robinah is my HopeChild, and lives in a village in Uganda. Uganda is a country in Africa that is heavily inflicted with HIV/AIDS, and there is little available healthcare, except that which comes from people like you & I who make the important decision to sponsor. Sponsoring also enables education for the children,.. many cannot afford to go to school. Sponsoring also can provide clean water & healthy, nutritious food for children & their families. Clean water is scarce in most of these villages. And this is not limited to Uganda,... there are many other countries in despair like Kenya, Rwanda, Malawi, Zambia, and many, many others.

I began sponsoring her about a month ago, and I already feel so blessed to have her in my life. Robinah is almost 7 years old, and is fortunate to still have both of her parents and siblings, although they are very poor and struggle to survive. Many children are not as fortunate as Robinah in having their parents still with them... Most children have lost at least one parent to HIV/AIDS, some have lost both, and others are completely orphaned.

Please consider sponsoring a child today,... for a small monthly cost of $35 you can do a world of good. And many of us spend more than that a month just at Starbucks alone........... So, lattes? Or, contributing towards healthcare, textbooks, food & clean water. Lattes? Or,..... LIFE.

Think about it.

Thanks for your time guys! God bless!
