I bet not one of these kids has a family free of aids. Yet they have hope and smile. Kids are amazing and need to be saved; their mothers protected and able to work for the basic things and have dignity in their lives.MKW

It breaks my heart to see the condition that these children have to live in
no one should have to live in those surroundings in this day and age.

And, we are spending how many trillion $$ on Occupying Iraq? What good we could do in the world to end hunger, poverty, disease, slavery....

We must keep trying against all odds, the alternative is the end of us all.

Thanks for the photo, though it points out brutally the injustice in the world, it is also shows the resiliency of kid - they deserve better.
