AIDS PANDEMIC IN AFRICA
If all the children orphaned by AIDS held hands, they would stretch five and a half times across the United States (or more than half way around the globe). By 2011, this virtual chain will reach all theway around the world.
Since AIDS was discovered it has killed 30 million people. There are more than 2.5 million AIDS orphans in Uganda alone.American’s spend an estimated $20 billion on ice cream each year; an amount that could feed 83 million hungry children for an entire year. Every 5 seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry.
