May 7 World AIDS Orphan Day

Today is the day that we recognize the absolute horror that befalls so many children across Africa and the rest of the world. Every 15 seconds a child is orphaned by AIDS. By 2010 there will be over 100 Million AIDS orphans! This is unimaginable, unexplainable, and unacceptable!

Likely my child will be just that a victim of AIDS...his or her mother or father may have had AIDS/HIV or perhaps another family member. Whatever the way his or her life has been affected by the terrible disease that is sweeping across Africa.

So today I am asking that you take a moment to say a prayer for a child who has been orphaned by AIDS.
