Tomorrow, the first of December is World AIDS day. What will I be thinking about when I wear my red ribbon tomorrow...?
...the 11% of Malawi's population who are HIV positive?
...the 90,000 HIV positive children?
...the 1 million orphans?
...or about Tisungane, Kelvin, Chisomo, Save, Mphatso, and the many more I have known who have died because of AIDS.
On Sunday in church we stood in silence to remember them. There were large red ribbons on the columns in St Micheal's in Blantyre that framed the stained glass image of Christ on the cross. We read the story of the Widow of Nain (Luke 7:7-17) and prayed "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
So much has been done, so much more to be done...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbOD9fbRnX0&feature=related
