Thank you for making us aware of it here in the ONE Blog. I have added it as one of my favorites. FYI, there is a website up and running to help support the Mulago Positive Women's Network (MPWN) facilitated by ONE spokesperson, Agnes Nyamayarwo. As many know, the MPWN is a group of women who get their ARV's and other support services through international support of TASO. We invite you to check out the website and offer us any comments that you have regarding it at info@mpwn-uganda.org. Thanks for your input into this thread. I will forward your piece on TASO Uganda to several people there. All the Best, Yobachi.

I am taking a stand, a stand for humanity. Something you're clearly not concerned with; but rather, you're concerned with nationalism. There is plenty of help for plenty of things in America; even animals have these types of medical donor funds now. Nobody's advocating against funding illness in America or anywhere else, we're talking about focusing in on eliminating it where it exist in it's grandest scales. Humanity demands it, and so does self preservation; as disease is not stagnate, and it neither simply remains in modern forms, but can mutate into worst things; nor does it simply remain local. They say AIDS started in the Congo Basin, this same general area of the world, and people were dying of it for 20 years before we paid any attention to it when it got to America. Maybe if it wasn't for people like you and we'd done something about it from the outset it would have never made it to America; and tens of millions of people throughout the world wouldn't have died. D.K.H., your rabid ranting doesn’t amount to a logical point.

PEPFAR has been a lifeline for over a million people in Africa who benefit in some regard from its programs. It must continue to receive FULL FUNDING in the federal budget so that more people can be helped by PEPFAR's life-saving activities. For all its perceived short-comings, it still IS making a positive difference in Africa - and that is most important. Thank you, Simon, for bringing up an issue which is the closest to my heart - the future of Africa's nearly 12 million AIDS orphans. I also wish that more of PEPFAR's resources would go to provide for these children. The situation for Africa's AIDS orphaned children should be a catalyst to spur us into even GREATER action for Africa's Future - whether with or without PEPFAR.

Currently 15 million children are orphaned by AIDS. Fewer than 1 in 10 of these children is receiving and support.
