Today on NPR: a South African teenager living with AIDS

April 20th, 2006 at 2:00 pm | posted by Erin, ONE Staff

 

Today, NPR’s All Things Considered is featuring a story on Thembi Ngubane, a South African teenager living with AIDS. For the past year, Thembi has been carrying a tape recorder and keeping an audio diary of her struggle to live with AIDS.

In Africa, the continent hit hardest by the HIV/AIDS virus, more than 17 million Africans have died from AIDS and another 25 million are infected with the HIV virus. South Africa, Thembi’s home, has the largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS - 5 million altogether - and Thembi is one of them.

Listen to Thembi’s story today on NPR.

Thembi and producer Joe Richman will be traveling to cities throughout the US for a series of special listening and conversation events:

Washington, DC: April 25th, Foundry United Methodist Church
Boston: April 27th Match School
Los Angeles: May 1st, UCLA
Chicago: May 4th, HotHouse Performance Space

Thembi is one of millions around the world living with HIV/AIDS, and she has been brave enough to share her story, shed light on this global crisis, and use her voice to help make a difference.

Listen to her story today.
