THE PLIGHT OF MALAWI'S ORPHANS
This November, when I visited the village of Salima in Malawi,
more than 300 children greeted me. I asked one of the village
leaders, "Could you show me the orphans?"
He gestured to the sea of faces in front of me and replied, "All
of them!!"
I was shocked.I knew we would encounter many orphans, but
not entire villages-- with not a surviving adult. It broke my heart
to see first hand the devastating impact of HIV/Aids on innocent
children.
HIV/Aids has decimated Malawi’s adult population. This crisis
has left thousands of orphans with no adults to care for them.
These children are in desperate need of basic necessities
such as food, clothing and school supplies for their education.
