In honor of World AIDS day, our friends at Africare have uploaded another inspiring video in their Pass it On! series. This short film shot in Dodoma, Tanzania shows how young artists represent AIDS and express how the virus has impacted their lives in drawings and paintings. Watch the video here and discover how some are healing through art.

Each day, more children are orphaned and left to assume the roles of adulthood as parents are killed by AIDS; currently over two million children in Sub-Sahara Africa are alone in the world. With a growing number of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC), the disease has become more than just a heath crisis. However, there is hope as work is being done, through Africare and other organizations, to increase community-based outreach to empower youth impacted by AIDS. Learn more about COPE, The Community-based Orphan Care Protection and Empowerment Project, and more about what is being done to help those who have been affected by HIV/AIDS on Africare’s website.
