FACT: To date, the AIDS pandemic has left behind more than 14 million orphans...approximately 92% of them live in Africa, If, as expected, the number of adults dying from AIDS rises over the next decade, Africa will largely be a nation of orphans.
I just read this fact from shoe4aftrica.org and an article in the most recent runners world magazine about this race in Kenya. check it out by going to this youtube video.
What a race that would have been to be a part of!
I am reading this book called Red Letters and it is opening my eyes to the devastation of a generation in Africa due to aids and genocide. I am praying about how God wants us to give and be a small part in helping in this crisis.
That is why i posted the link to hopechest.org and fivefor50.com. they are links to ministries that help with AIDS relief and caring for orphans.
