One Woman’s Story
It had been two days since many of the children had any clean water to drink. The smell of dirty diapers filled the air, and as the rusted orange gate in front of the Bresma Orphanage rolled open, the eager eyes of more than one hundred children stared back at us.

In 2001, UNICEF estimated that 6,000 children lose a parent to AIDS every day. Each child has a name — and a heart-breaking story. Please help. … Read entire article »
