A young woman,whose documents we sorted out this week,was bringing up her children on her own.Her husband died of Aids and she has it also.Yet her youngest child is not HIV positive.The new drugs available to protect the child in child birth were administered.Some good news to start the day!

17 Dec 2008 at 18:10 hi eric,i felt quite sad to hear about the woman whose husband died of aids and that she has it also. how fortunate that her youngest child IS NOT HIV POSITIVE but what about the other children ; hiow many children does she have?
your diary is such good reading : i am sure it would make a bestseller.a lot of people do not know the extent of the poverty and struggles that these people haveas they only hear about it on the news or raed about it but we we get it first hand from you.
i expect you will find it hard to pull yourself away from africa when the time comes.
