Still, we can never let the task ahead of us to allow us to lose our momentum to achieving our goals. We here in the USA must be putting all of our efforts this Summer into making sure that PEPFAR is re-authorized, hopefully within the next month before the G8 summit in Japan. We OWE it to the people of Africa who we have struggled so hard for to not allow them to fall through the cracks of government bureaucracy in this presidential year. It doesn't matter in the end WHO is elected president to that mother in Africa on her ARV's - she just needs to know that she can continue to go on living for the sake of her children. And it is UP TO US to make sure that she continues to get her ARV's. (plus continue to ensure that more people can receive this life-giving assistance) For those who are truly interested, there is a MAJOR international conference taking place in Kampala, Uganda on the international HIV/AIDS crisis from the perspective of those who are responsible for IMPLEMENTING the programs which provide the life-giving assistance that HIV/AIDS affected people, including AIDS orphaned children, partake in. This includes PEPFAR, the Global Fund, the U.N. agencies and other concerned international organizations. Here is the website for more info. If my money allowed, I would be there right now (smile): http://www.hivimplementers.com/ Have a beautiful day, everyONE. Please don't let it get away!

It doesn’t matter in the end WHO is elected president to that mother in Africa on her ARV’s – she just needs to know that she can continue to go on living for the sake of her children.
