In South Africa International Aids Day is celebrated, in 2007, on the first day of December.

May South Africa and indeed Africa be blessed in its attempts to accept responsibility to manage the scourge and its consequences.

Staggering facts are :

South Africa has highest AIDS/HIV infection rate in the entire World.

In South Africa 5.5 Million persons of 48 Million(that is over 10%) are living with AIDS/HIV and 1.5 million of them are children who are orphaned(that means over 20% are kids!).
