HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. As of 2004 an estimated 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. In the developing world, especially in parts of Africa, life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, causing a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp increase in orphans, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behavior has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalizing world. This Very Short Introduction tackles the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and suggests how we must respond.

What are your thoughts on the subject?HIV Orphans Off the Streets and Into School
Africa has the highest incidence of child labour in the world, further complicated by high rates of HIV. But some Sub-Saharan African countries like Uganda have been world leaders in getting children out of child labour and into primary school through a National Child Labour Policy that specifically addresses HIV. * Uganda: escolarización de niños huérfanos por causa del VIH que trabajan en la calle Pueden verse en avenidas, bocacalles y campos granjeros de todo el mundo: alrededor de 215 millones de niñas y niños presas del trabajo infantil, que aún hoy en día llevan a cabo, en muchos casos, las formas de trabajo más peligrosas. No obstante, según el Informe Mundial de la OIT, se han producido avances importantes, lográndose que en la actualidad haya 30 millones menos de niños trabajadores que hace una década. La clave para alcanzar ese objetivo en 2016 es renovar el compromiso político con objeto de que las cuestiones relativas al trabajo infantil sean una prioridad, y articular políticas nacionales, como en el caso de Uganda, encaminadas a combatirlo. ** Ouganda : Orphelins à cause du VIH, ils sont retirés de la rue et envoyés à l’école On les trouve dans les rues, dans les entrepôts clandestins, et dans les champs du monde entier : 215 millions d’enfants (filles et garçons) seraient encore aujourd’hui piégés dans le travail des enfants, et pour beaucoup d’entre eux dans des formes de travail des plus dangereuses. Cependant, d’après le Rapport global du BIT, des …
I want to go to third world countries and help children with AIDS and orphans in places like Africa.?
I dont have alot of money, in fact I dont have ANY money. How can I volunteer my time and efforts to other places and come up with the money to do these things?
I have volunteered here, and I do believe that we have alot to work on in the states. HOWEVER, I want to go to places where poverty is the norm, and not the exception. I want to help children who’s parents died to nuture them and help bring happiness out of their tragedy. I cannot join the peace corps because they have too strict of regulations, and I dont have a degree in anything, nor any relevant higher education.

Product Description
Every 14 seconds a Child Headed Household is formed

AIDS Orphans Rising takes you through… More >>

Any ideas?Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee Helps Orphans
Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is a non-profit corporation dedicated to making a significant difference in the lives of children here in Atlanta & around the world. We give our money directly to children and to other non profits. However we give supplies and books to other non profits so the support goes to the kids. We are careful to make sure our money does not go to pay salaries. We have no salaries and we make certain we don’t pay anybody’s salaries. We’re accomplishing that goal by selling our GREAT-TASTING, gourmet coffee & donating 100% of the profits to carefully selected charitable projects such as group homes, shelters, orphanages & schools. The Company – Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee This coffee company was founded by Boake and Carol Moore, as an extension of their mission work in Africa. They got the idea from another friend who brought back bags of the local coffee to sell through his church. They wanted to help a lot of children but wanted a way to generate consistent donations over a long period of time so they could really help a lot of children. They joined the Café CoopeTarrazu Farmer’s Co-Op which enabled them to make purchases from a local group of 2500 farmers. Then they began importing the coffee that is now sold as Mission Grounds. There are no administrative overhead costs at Mission Grounds. We rely on a team of volunteers led by successful business executives such as Thomas Loach and Rick Sample. No one involved in the effort accepts a salary. Overhead is limited to shipping, packaging and labeling the coffee, and comprises less than 5% of revenue Every penny of profit goes toward child-centered projects in the U.S. and countries around the world. We use personal contacts to transfer funds and ensure the entire amount reaches its intended destination. The Coffee Mission Grounds Coffee is made from the finest Arabica beans grown in the rich volcanic soil of the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. Known for its intense aroma and depth of flavor, coffee from this region is frequently used to improve the flavor of big-name blends. Tarrazu coffee is graded at five levels. The highest quality (#1) is also the least abundant, because it is grown at the highest altitudes and takes the longest to grow and ripen. Large coffee chains, which must purchase their beans in huge quantities, routinely pass over grades 1 and 2, even for their finest coffees. Mission Grounds buys only the #1 grade beans. We offer two roasting options: Dark Roast, which is slow roasted for a smooth, rich taste, slightly spicy and full-bodied, and Mission Grounds Light Roast which offers a more delicate flavor that is crisp and bright. The Opportunity:There are several ways you can show your support for the work of Mission Grounds: BUY MISSION GROUNDS COFFEE. Whether you purchase one pound for your personal enjoyment, or several pounds a week to serve in your corporate break room, every donation helps our causes. SELL MISSION GROUNDS COFFEE. If you have a restaurant or coffee shop, we’d love to be your house brew. DONATE DIRECTLY TO A PROJECT. We’ll be happy to discuss the efforts we have underway and how your donations can make a difference. Our current projects are listed on the back panel of this brochure. Corporations can know 100% of their donations go to helping children and not to a salary or overhead. Donate where giving makes the biggest difference. VOLUNTEER TO HELP HOMELESS CHILDREN: Please give me a call at (678) 480-1067, and let’s talk. The Projects: Mission Grounds is currently supporting projects in several areas: Atlanta, Georgia: Sales from Mission Grounds Coffee support The Children’s Restoration Network (CRN) and Jars of Clay. These two organizations provide food, clothing, housing, education and job training for children in need in the Atlanta area. Jars of Clay works specifically with the inner-city poor, CRN works with shelters and group homes throughout Metro Atlanta. China: Mission Grounds has recently completed a third school near Kunming in the Yunnan province. We have identified 12 more sites for future school construction. Our goal is to complete at least 2 or 3 schools per year. Venezuela: Mission Grounds is constructing and supporting an orphanage housing 160 children that is under construction in the town of Barquisimeto. It is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2008. At least one other site has been identified for a similar facility. Russia: Mission Grounds supports several orphanages in St. Petersburg, including an HIV home, through an organization called Relational Bridges International. Other Projects: Mission Grounds partnered with Family Circle magazine to help families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. We also sponsored Back to School festivals to distribute backpacks and school supplies to children in Buffalo, NY and New Orleans, LA. We currently are exploring similar opportunities with children’s charities in Pittsburgh, PA, Charlotte, NC and other U.S. cities
